Ben participated in a race. During the first half of the race, he walked 3 miles and ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour for x hou

rs. During the second half of the race, he walked for 2 miles and ran at a rate of 5.5 miles per hour for x hours. What equation could you write to solve for the number of hours Ben ran during each half of the race? Let y represent the number of miles in half the race. Write two equations, one for the first half of the race and one for the second half. How could you transform these two equations to be the same as the original equation you wrote to solve for x? What do you think this means about solving for the variables in a situation represented by two equations?

Answer:

y = 5x + 3

y = 5.5x + 2

0.5x = 1

x = 2

y = 13

anyways what I think this means for the variables is x is equal to x in the second equation and y is equal to y in the second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = 5x + 3
y = 5.5x + 2
0.5x = 1
x = 2
y = 13

Solve x2 + 6x = 7 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Ber [7]
So first you have to find the perfect square that matches up with x^2 + 6x

so half of 6, and square it. your perfect square is 9

x^2 + 6x + 9 = 7 + 9

then, condense the left side of the equation into a squared binomial:

(x + 3)^2 = 16

take the square root of both sides:

x + 3 = ± √16

therefore:

x + 3 = ± 4

x = - 3 ± 4

so your solution set is:

x = 1, -7

The singing club keeps sheet music in files. Each file holds 12 sheets. Of all the club's music, 2/3 fit into 3 files. How many
laila [671]
1 file -> 12 sheets

Now for 3 files -> 3*12 = 36 sheets, it takes up 2/3 of the total

So the total number of sheets: 36 / (2/3) = 54
