Cassie is training for a marathon. she has been recording her miles in a journal leading up to race day. the following table shows some of her results.
on sunday, cassie didn't run any miles. what could be a possible cause for this outlier?
day mon tues wed thur fri sat sun mon tues
number of miles 8 8 10 12 10 8 0 5 8

(3x-8) or (3x+8)

step-by-step explanation:

its 50 miles away from the starting point

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
