Not sure if this is right or not, but I chose 125.11 after I typed in the equation, haven’t used R-value at all. Will comment if correct — APEX
Assuming you mean y=10x+150 and y=20x+115, you need to use a simultaneous equation, because you have two equations with two unknowns (x and y)
rearrange so
10x-y=-150
20x-y=-115
multiply the top by -1, so that if we add the two lines together, the y will cancel out
-10x+y=150
20x-y=-115
add the two lines together
10x=35
x=3.5
so the time is 3 and a half weeks
then we can sub in x to find y
20x-y=-115
20(3.5)-y=-115
70-y=-115
-y=-185
y=185
so 185 tickets were sold !
you can sub these values into your original equations to check your answer :)
I think there is a lack of information with regards to the question posted above. This may be the complete question:
Van is 75% taller than Keith. If Van's height increases by 40% while Kieth's increases only by 25%, by what percent is Van taller than Kieth now?
We put Van at 175 and Kieth at 100 since Van is 75% taller than Keith.
When Kieth's height increased at 25%, he is now 125
When Van's height increased at 40%, he is now 245
245-125=120 and
<span><span><span>120/125</span>= .96 = 96%
The answer is 96%. I hope this helps.</span></span>
Answer:
she walked 6 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Ruth walks at a speed of 4 mph and it took her 1.5 hours to walk from her home to the library (from 9 to 10.30).
We can solve this using a rule of three:
If she walks 4 miles in 1 hour, how many hours did she walk in 1.5 hours?
1 hour 4 miles
1.5 hours x miles
Solving for x we get:
miles
Thus, she walked a distance of 6 miles
