Lilliana is training for a marathon. she runs the same distance every day for a week. on monday, wednesday, and friday, she runs 3 laps on a running trail and then runs 6 more miles. on tuesday and sunday, she runs 5 laps on the trail and then runs 2 more miles. on saturday, she just runs laps. how many laps does lilliana run on saturday?

Y=3x+6 Y=5x+2 Y=ax If x=2, y=12 12=2x 12/2=x 6=x Therefore Lillianna runs 6 laps

Let's show the equation:
3+8.5x=y
8.5 would be the slope because that's the rate and 3 would be the y intercept because that where he started.
And also with Jacinda, she is increasing 10, so her's would be 10x=y
3+8.5x=10x; Let's get x alone, so we need them on the same side, so subtract 8.5x from 10x and from its own side.
3=1.5x
3/1.5=x=2
They would be the same at 2 hours, so it would take Jacinda 2 hours. LEt's make sure.
3+8.5(2)= 17+3=20
10(2)=20
They're equal at 2 hours, so it would take 2 hours for Jacinda to catch up to Raj.
