Answer:

Part A:

x+y= 95

x = y+25

Part B: 35 minutes

Part C: No

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Part A:

Eric spends a total of 95 minutes daily playing basketball and volleyball combined.

x+y= 95

Where:

x =minutes Eric plays basketball

y = minutes he allocates to volleyball

He dedicates 25 minutes more to basketball compared to volleyball.

x = y+25

Equations are:

x+y= 95

x = y+25

  • Part B:

Substituting x=y+25 into the first equation yields:

(y+25) + y =95

Solving for y

y+25+y =95

25+2y=95

2y=95-25

2y=70

y = 70/2

y = 35 minutes

Part C: No

If x = 35

x+y= 95

35+y =95

y= 95-35

y = 60 minutes

Inserting y=60 into the other equation:

x = y+25

35 = 60+25

35 ≠85

Not including tax, a total of 19 pens and markers cost $11.50. The pens cost $0.25 each, and the markers cost $0.75 each. Which
Zina [12379]
The system of equations to consider would include: p + m = 19 and 0.25p + 0.75m = 11.50. To establish this system, first define the total amount bought with the initial equation where p signifies pens and m denotes markers. The subsequent equation will utilize cost alongside the total expenditure.

Some friends plotted the locations of their house on a map. brianna's house is at (1,6), Jordan's house is at (5,3). What is one
Zina [12379]
Let
A (1,6)------> denotes the location of <span>Brianna's house on a map
B </span>(5,3)------> indicates the location of
Jordan's house on a map

It’s clear that <span>One possible path from Brianna's residence to Jordan's home is a straight line (which represents the shortest distance) </span>

Utilizing a graphing tool
refer to the attached diagram

To calculate the distance between points A and B, we use:
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]-----> d=√[(3-6)²+(5-1)²]----> d=√[3²+4²]
Ultimately, d=√25----> d=5 units

Thus, the distance from Brianna's house to Jordan's house is 5 units.
