A car travels around a circular track. The inside wheels follow along the line of the inner circle, and the outer wheels follow along the line of the larger circle. The radius of the larger circle is 25 ft, and the radius of the smaller circle is 21 ft. Determine how much farther the outer wheels would travel than the inner wheels after one revolution.

Answers

Answer 1
So, basically what they are asking for is the circumference (which is like the perimeter) of the inner and outer circles. 

Circumference is: C = 2πr

The radius of the two circles are given so all you need to do is plug it in.

Circumference of the bigger circle (outer tire) is 157ft. Circumference of the smaller circle (inner tire) is 132ft.

The exact answer is 157.07-131.88 = 25.19ft ≈ 25ft

Luca and William are playing a video game and they have scored a total of 20,000 points. Luca scored 4,000 more points than William. If you let l= the number of points that Luca scored, and w= the number of points that William scored, then the problem can be represented by the system:

l+w=20,000 and l=w+4,000

Graph the system. How many points did each boy score?

My possible answers are:
a. William = 8,000 and Luca = 12,000
b. William = 12,000 and Luca = 8,000

d. William = 4,000 and Luca = 16,000

Answers

l+w=20000

l=w+4000

w+4000+w=20000

2w+4000=20000

2w=16000

w=8000

l = 8000 +4000 = 12000


William scored 8000, Luca scored 12000

l=w+4000

l+w=20000, using l from above in this equation yields:

(w+4000)+w=20000 combine like terms on left side

2w+4000=20000  subtract 4000 from both sides

2w=16000 divide both sides by 2

w=8000, since l=w+4000

l=8000+4000

l=12000

William=8000 and Luca=12000
