Gerry arrived at the bus stop x hours past noon. Dale arrived 4 hours later. Pat arrived at 5 P. M., x hours after Dale. At what time did Gerry arrive at the bus stop? [Your answer must include an A. M. or a P. M.]

Gerry arrived at the bus station at 12:30 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

From noon and 5:00 P.M. there are 5 hours.

Gerry, Dale, and Pat arrived at the bus stop within that interval, which means the sum of the times elapsed between their arrival times must be 5.

4 out of the 5 hours elapsed since Gerry and Dale's arrivals. This means there is only one hour left for twice x.

If twice x is one hour, then x is half an hour. Thus, the complete sequence of arrivals is:

Gerry arrived at the bus station at 12:30 P.M.

Dale arrived at the bus station at 4:30 P.M.

Pat arrived at the bus station at 5:00 P.M.

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%
