Suzette ran and biked for a total of 50 mi in 4 h. her average running speed was 5 mph and her average biking speed was 15 mph.

let x = total hours suzette ran.

let y= total hours suzette biked.

use substitution to solve for x and y. show your work. check your solution.

(a) how many hours did suzette run?

(b) how many hours did suzette bike?

Step-by-step explanation:

Suzette ran and biked for a total of 50 miles in 4 hours. Her average running speed was 5 mph and her average biking speed was 15 mph.

Let x = total hours Suzette ran.

Let y= total hours Suzette biked.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered in running for x hours at a speed of 5 miles per hour = 5×x = 5x miles

Distance covered in biking for y hours at a speed of 15 miles per hour = 15×y = 15y miles

Total distance covered is 50 miles. This means

5x + 15y = 50 - - - - - - - - 1

If the total time spent is 4 hours, that means

x + y = 4

Substituting x = 4 - y into equation 1,

It becomes

5(4 - y) + 15y = 50

20 - 5y + 15y = 50

- 5y + 15y = 50 - 20

10y = 30

y = 30/10 = 3

x = 4 - y = 4 - 3

x = 1

a) Suzette ran for 1 hour

b) Suzette biked for 3 hours

  the correct choice is marked

step-by-step explanation:

the first two graphs show multiple turning points. the last graphs matches the description in every detail.

the workers who do no drive has no reasonable reason to buy gasoline due to they don't have anything to use it for
