On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, 0) and (5, 8.5). A triangle is formed with the line and the y-axis. Use these similar triangles on the coordinate plane to determine the equation of a straight line with a slope of 5/3 that passes through the origin.
y = five-thirds x
y = three-fifths x
y = 3x + 5
y = 5x + 3

You and a friend race across a field to a fence and back. your friend has a 50-meter head start. the equations shown represent you and your friend's distances dd (in meters) from the fence tt seconds after the race begins. find the time at which you catch up to your friend. you: d=∣−5t+100∣d=∣−5t+100∣ your friend: d=∣−313t+50∣∣

Twenty-five percent of the customers entering a grocery store between 5 p. m. and 7 p. m. use an express checkout. consider five randomly selected customers, and let x denote the number among the five who use the express checkout.

Question: what is the value of x 4x-2= (-7) +5x. it would be greatly appreciated if someone could actually explain to me step by step
