As the earth rotates, it travels a distance of 80 miles in 5 minutes. At this constant rate, which equation best represents y, the total distance the earth travels in x minutes?

y=16x

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you are given the equation as if y=total distance the earth travels in x minutes. If you are given that you travel 80 miles in 5 minutes, you can plug  these value into the variables they are representing and solve for the constant.

Visual:

y=xk          y=miles        x=minutes         k=constant

Plug in your values and you get:

80=5k

Now, you solve for k by diving 5 on both sides, which leaves you with k=16.

Now you plug your value for k into the original equation, leaving you with y=16x

step-by-step explanation:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
