Steve is trying to increase his average pace per mile by running hills. the hill on 1st avenue rises 3 vertical feet for each horizontal foot. the hill on 16th avenue rises 1 vertical foot for every 3 horizontal feet. which hill will be more difficult for steve to run up? explain your reasoning.

The first Avenue will be more difficult  for Steve to run up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before to get started, please take a look  at the attached sketch below.

Take in account that slope is a number that describes the steepness of a line. It  can be computed   through the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change.

According to this, the slope of the first avenue is 3/1 and the slope of the 16th avenue is 1/3. Therefore, the first avenue inclination is greater than 16 th avenue. This means that the first avenue requires  more effort  to be run up.

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
