Kevin, Conner, and John each walk several miles per day as part of a fitness program. Kevin walks 3 miles less than Conner, and John walks 2 miles more than Conner does. Over 3 days the difference between the number John and Kevin walk is equal to one half the number of miles that Conner walks. How many miles does each person walk each day?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The distance Conner walks each day is 10 miles

The distance Kevin walks each day is 7 miles

The distance John walks each day is 12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem

Let the number of miles Conner walks per day = x

The given inforf the totmation in the question are;

The distance Kevin walks per day = x - 3 miles

The distance John walks per day = x + 2 miles

In three days, the difference between the total distance John walks and the total distance Kevin walks is equal to half the total distance Conner walks

The number of miles each person walks per day is found as follows;

3×(x + 2) - 3×(x - 3) = 3·x/2

3·x + 6 - 3·x - (-9) = 3·x/2

3·x + 6 - 3·x + 9 = 3·x/2

3·x - 3·x + 6  + 9 = 3·x/2

0 + 6  + 9 = 3·x/2

15 = 3·x/2

x = 15×2/3 = 10 miles

x = 10 miles

Therefore, the distance Conner walks each day = 10 miles

The distance Kevin walks per day = (x - 3) miles = (10 - 3) miles = 7 miles

The distance Kevin walks per day = 7 miles

The distance John walks per day = (x + 2) miles = (10 + 2) miles = 12 miles

The distance John walks per day = 12 miles.

Answers

Answer:

This is a numerical expression or D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not algebraic because it doesn't include unknown variables such as x or y

and it is not a numerical equation because equations have equal signs in them such as 5 + 6 = 11

Answer:

it is a numerical expression

Step-by-step explanation:

it is not an algebraic equation because there are no variables say, p or q or any other variables attached or unattached to its coefficients. And no equal sign attached to it.

it is not an algebraic expression.

it is not a numerical equation because it has no equal sign neither is it equating itself to another.

finally, it is a numerical expression because it only consists of numbers and has no equal sign. Or it is not equating to any other solution.

What is a linear equation?

A connection between a number of variables results in a linear model when a graph is displayed. The variable will have a degree of one.

Let the equation of the line pass through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).

Then the equation of the line is given as,

\rm (y - y_2) = \left ((y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) \right ) (x - x_2)

The points are given below.

(2, 8) and (3, 14)

The equation of the line that passes through (2, 8) and (3, 14) will be given as,

(y - 8) = [(14 - 8) / (3 - 2)](x - 2)

y - 8 = 6x - 12

y = 6x - 4

The condition of the line that goes through (2, 8) and (3, 14) will be y = 6x - 4.

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is calculated by finding the change in y-coordinates and dividing that by the change in x-coordinates.

The change in y:

8-14=-6

The change in x:

2-3=-1

The slope:

slope=(-6)/(-1) =6
