Too hot air balloon’s are traveling along the same path away from a town beginning from different locations at the same time Henry’s balloon begins 25 miles from the town and is 37 miles from the town after two hours. the distance of Tasha’s balloon from the town is represented by the function Y equals 7X +15 which blew his father from the town at the beginning and which travel more quickly

Final answer:

Henry's balloon traveled farther, as it was 37 miles away from the town, while Tasha's balloon was only 29 miles away.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to compare the travel distance of two hot air balloons. Henry's balloon travels 37 miles from the town in 2 hours. Tasha's balloon is represented by the function Y = 7X + 15, where X represents the time in hours and Y represents the distance from the town. To compare their distances, we can substitute 2 into the function. Y = 7(2) + 15 = 14 + 15 = 29 miles. Therefore, Henry's balloon traveled farther, as it was 37 miles away from the town, while Tasha's balloon was only 29 miles away.

You would do

Tasha Y=7x +15

Henry X=6x+25


Tashas balloon is going faster and after 5 hours she would be farther away from the town then Henry


you get this answer because Henry is 37 miles away from town and he started at 25 miles away so just subtract and that’s 12 miles in 2 hours so 6x
