Answer 6

ok Lets identify the varibles. Can you tell me what y represents?

Answer 7

i think the y represent how far from home when D began walk home. :D

Answer 8

correct

Answer 9

Now tell me what x represents

Answer 10

nvm

Answer 11

ok, though just to be sure i think the x represents the minutes of walking :D

Answer 12

5 is the rate at which he is walking

Answer 13

ok....

Answer 14

x is how long he has been walking. so to find how far he has walked you multiply the two (5 and x). Now to find the distance from home you subtract the product of 5 and x from y

Answer 15

ok, so 5x, x is the minute after he walked....so 5x is the total minute he walked right?

Answer 16

no. 5x is how far he has walked

Answer 26

MathMale wanna check out my question?

Answer 27

Can you show me how to perform the problem to find the distance. so far i got y-(5*x-25)=0 but i'm not sure :(

Answer 28

If devante has been walking for 0 minutes write the original equation like that

Answer 29

where x=0

Answer 30

the distance from home is 25

Answer 31

because y=25-5x if x=0 tjen it becomes y=25

Answer 32

and y=distance from home
