Option A, it’s the base times the height
<span>x=y+2
2y=x-1
substitute </span>x=y+2 into 2y=x-1
2y=x-1
2y=y+2 -1
2y - y = 1
y = 1
<span>x=y+2
</span><span>x=1+2
x=3
answer
x = 3 and y = 1</span>
I’m pretty sure it’s a candle but I’m not 100% sorry if I’m wrong!!!
Answer:
r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Representations:
1) speed of faster cyclist: f = r + 5
2) speed of slower cyclist: r
Distances covered:
(r + 5)(5 hr) + r(5) = 55 mi (total distance covered)
Then 5r + 25 + 5r = 55, or, after reducing this equation:
r + 5 + r = 11, or
2r = 6
Then r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph
The sum of the number of miles that should be traveled by Jonathan and Laura to total 3 miles together should be expressed as,
m + x = 3
By subtracting m from both sides of the equation, we get
x = 3 - m
Now, we see that the expression for the distance that Laura traveled is,
3 - m
