Problem 48
A cheetah running 90 feet per second is 100 feet behind a gazelle running 70 feet per second. How long will it take the cheetah to catch up to the gazelle? Use the verbal model to write and solve a linear equation. Speed of cheetah \( \cdot \text { Time }=100+\text { Speed of gazelle } \cdot\text { Time }\)
Problem 50
The diagram shows the orbits of Jupiter’s four largest moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The orbits are circular. Io’s orbit is x kilometers (km) from Jupiter. The distance between Io and Europa is 300,000 km. The distance between Europa and Ganymede is 400,000 km. The distance between Ganymede and Callisto is 800,000 km. The distance from Jupiter to Callisto is \(4 \frac{3}{4} x,\) or \(4 \frac{3}{4}\) times the distance from Jupiter to Io. Find the distance \(x\) between Jupiter and Io, using the equation \(x+300,000+400,000+800,000=4 \frac{3}{4} x\)
Problem 52
Use the table. It shows all the activity in a checking account during June. Deposits are positive and withdrawals are negative. $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text { Day } & {\text { Activity }} \\ \hline \text { June 6 } & {-\$ 225.00} \\ \hline \text { June 10 } & {+\$ 310.25} \\ \hline \text { June 17} & {+\$ 152.33} \\ \hline \text { June 25 } & {-\$ 72.45} \\ \hline \text { June 30 } & {-\$ 400.00} \\ \hline \end{array} $$ What was the total change in the account balance over the course of the month?
