Using proportions, it is found that Mason ran 620 meters.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Considering the ratio, the <em>rule of three</em> is given as follows:

2 laps for Mason - 3 laps for Laney.

n meters for Mason - 930 meters for Mason.

Applying cross multiplication:

3n = 930 x 2

n = 930 x 2/3

n = 620

Mason ran 620 meters.

$50 - 10x = 5\\-10x = -45\\x = 4.50$

Each water bottle cost $4.50

What is the y1 of 3x-5y=20

Aliun [14]

Unsure of what you mean by "y1."

If you wish to solve this eqn for y, do this:
-5y = - 3x + 20,
-3x + 20
y = ---------------- = (3/5)x - 4 (answer)
-5
