Jackson is running a 10-mile race. He runs 1 mile every 8 minutes. Jackson's distance from this finish line after x minutes is represented by the function x+8y=80

Jackson's distance from the finish line after x minutes will be given as;

since from the statements we know that x represents the number of minutes he had run, for us to be able to calculate his  distance from the finish line we simply solve the problem mathematically as follows;

x=80-8y

Step-by-step explanation:

from the initial representation we have x+8y=80,

from the preliminary statement we know x to be the number of minutes from the start of the race to the current point Jackson.

so we assume that y in the equation represents the number of distance covered by the x minutes in miles.

that is how we end up with ;

x=80-8y.

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.
