mike drove to a frineds house at the rage of 40 mph. he returned hoke by the dsne route at 45 mph the driving time for the round trip was four hours how ling did i take mike to get home

Let the distance be x miles

Time = Distance / speed

Time taken by Mike to go to his friend's house = x / 40 hours

Time taken by him to return = x / 45 hours

Total time = x / 40 + x / 45 = 4 hours

= 9x + 8x = 1440 miles

17x = 1440

= x = 1440 ÷ 7

= x = 84.706

Time taken to return home = 84.706 /45= 1.882 hours .

Therefore , Mike took 1.882 hours to reach home .

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

answer: i think it is (1,-2)
