Use the defined variables for the verbal model to write an equation in slope-intercept form that relates the variables. 16/hour x hours walked + 2/hours x hours walked =32 Let x represent the number of hours biked. Let y represent the number of hours walked. An equation is y= .

The required equation of y is (y = 16 - 8x) and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

Given that x represents the number of hours biked and y represents the number of hours walked. So, the equation becomes:

16x + 2y = 32

Now, the following steps can be used to determine the equation of 'y':

Step 1 - Write the equation.

16x + 2y = 32

Step 2 - Subtract 16x from both sides in the above equation.

2y = 32 - 16x

Step 3 - Now, divide by 2 from both sides.

Step 4 - Simplify the above equation.

y = 16 - 8x

So, the required equation of y is (y = 16 - 8x).

Complete question:

Use the defined variables for the verbal model to write an equation in slope-intercept form that relates the variables. 16miles/hour x hours biked + 2miles/hours x hours walked =32 Let x represent the number of hours biked. Let y represent the number of hours walked. An equation is y= .

16x + 2y = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

x = number of hours biked

y = number of hours walked

16miles/hour * hours biked + 2miles/hours * hours walked = 32

16miles/hour * x + 2miles/hours * y = 32

16x + 2y = 32

answer: idk

step-by-step explanation:

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
