To solve this equation, we must substitute in 0.3 for the value of x and then solve the equation for y.

5(0.3) + 2y = 20

To simplify, we begin by multiplying the two numbers on the left side of the equation.

1.5 + 2y = 20

Next, we should subtract 1.5 from both sides of the equation to get the variable term alone.

2y = 18.5

Finally, we should divide both sides of the equation by 2 in order to get the variable y completely alone on the left side of the equation.

y = 9.25

Therefore, the value of y is 9.25.

Hope this helps!

5x + 2y = 20
5 X 0.3 + 2y = 20
1.5 + 2y = 20
2y = 20 - 1.5
2y = 18.5
y = 18.5/2
y = 9.25

The value of y is 9.25

Kelly hiked in the woods it took her 1/14 hour to walk 1/4 mile after she snacked she walked another 1/6 mile in 1/16 hour

mariarad [96]

General Idea:

The relationship between rate(R), distance(D) and time(T) given below:

$R= \frac{D}{T}$

Applying the concept:

We need to make use of the formula to find Kelly's walking rate before and after her snack

$Kelly \; Walking \; Rate \; before \; Snack:\\Distance \div Time = \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{1}{14} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{14}{1} = \frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2} = 3 \frac{1}{2} \; miles \; per \; hour\\\\Kelly \; Walking \; Rate \; after \; Snack:\\Distance \div Time = \frac{1}{6} \div \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{16}{1} = \frac{16}{6} = \frac{8}{3} = 2 \frac{2}{3} \; miles \; per \; hour\\\\$

Option A isn't correct because before snack Kelly walking rate is not 4/14 miles per hour.

Option B is Correct, Kelly walking rate after snack is 2 2/3 miles per hour.

Option C isn't correct because it doesn't took Kelly 2 hours longer to walk 1/6 mile than it did for her to walk 1/4 mile. It took 1/112 hour longer.

$\frac{1}{14} - \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1 \cdot 8}{14 \cdot 8} - \frac{1 \cdot 7}{16 \cdot 7} = \frac{8}{112} - \frac{7}{112} = \frac{1}{112}$

Option D isn't correct because 2 2/3 miles per hour is slower than 3 1/2 miles per hour.

Conclusion:

Option B is Correct, Kelly walking rate after snack is 2 2/3 miles per hour.

IrinaVladis [17]

ANSWER:

In a data set with a range of 55.4 to 105.4 and 400 observations.86 lies in the 49th percentile.

SOLUTION:

Given, in a data set with a range of 55.4 to 105.4 and 400 observations.

There are 176 observations below the value of 86, and we need to find the percentile for 86.

We know that, percentile formula = $\frac{\text {number of observations below the required number}}{\text {total number of observations}} \times 100$
