Rachael is running a 5-kilometer race with 200 participants. She knows she can complete 1 kilometer in 7.5 minutes, and she plans to keep that pace for the whole race. However, she wants to give herself some extra time to take a water break at the halfway point between each kilometer marker. Her goal is to complete the race in 38.75 minutes, and she needs to figure out how much time she can take for each water break. She creates the following table to figure out her time at each kilometer.

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

as she usually finishes the race in 7.5 and her time for breaks are at 7.75 all you have to do is solve a simple equation of : 7.75 - 7.50 = 0.25

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
