Mr. Donley drove 504 km in each direction on a vacation
trip. The average rate going was 14 km/h faster than the
rate returning. The total time for the entire trip was 21
hours. Find the average rate for each direction.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Data that we know:

He drove 504km in each direction.

Going, the average speed was 14km/h more than returning.

The total trip lasted 21 hours.

Ok, to solve this first:

Let's define the variables:

Sg = Average speed when going.

Sr = Average speed when returning.

Then we can write one of our relationships as:

Sg = Sr + 14km/h.

Now, you can recall the relation:

Time = Distance/speed.

Then we can write the equation that represents the total time of the travel as:

504km/Sg + 504km/Sr = 21h

Now we can replace the Sg by Sr + 14km/h, and get:

504km/(Sr + 14km/h) + 504km/Sr = 21h.

Now we must multiplacate by each denominator, in order to remove them:

504km*Sr + 504km*(Sr + 14km/h) = 21h*Sr*(Sr + 14km/h)

Sr*1008km + 7056km^2/h = 21h*Sr^2 + 294km*Sr

Now we can write a cuadratic equation, where i will ignore the units so it is easier to read, as:

21*Sr^2 -714*Sr - 7056 = 0

The solutions are given by the Bhaskara formula:

[tex]Sr = \frac{714 +- \sqrt{714^2 - 4*21*(-7056)} }{2*21} = \frac{714 +- 1050}{42}[/tex]

We have two solutions, one negative and one positive, and because Sr represents an average speed, it must be a positive number, then we choose the positive solution:

Sr = (714 + 1050)/42  km/h = 42km/h

Now we have the average speed for the returning, with this we can find Sg.

Sg = Sr + 14km/h = 42km/h + 14km/h = 56km/h.

Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12)
Line b passes through the point (-8, -16)
The equation of line b is y= ______

Answers

Given:

Line a is perpendicular to line b .

Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12) .

Line b passes through the point (-8, -16).

To find:

The equation of b.

Solution:

Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12) . So, slope of line a is

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m_a=\dfrac{-12-(-8)}{9-1}[/tex]

[tex]m_a=\dfrac{-12+8}{8}[/tex]

[tex]m_a=\dfrac{-4}{8}[/tex]

[tex]m_a=-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

[tex]m_a\times a_b=-1[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}\times a_b=-1[/tex]

[tex]b=2[/tex]

Slope of line b is 2.

If a line passing through a point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] with slope m, then equation of line is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Line b passing through (-8,-16) with slope 2. So, equation of line b is

[tex]y-(-16)=2(x-(-8))[/tex]

[tex]y+16=2(x+8)[/tex]

[tex]y+16=2x+16[/tex]

Subtract 16  from both sides.

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of line b is [tex]y=2x[/tex].

Jackson was solving the problem below for k. However, he made a mistake.

Part A: Identify the FIRST mistake Jackson made.

Part B: Solve for k.

Answers

Part A: Jackson added 3k instead of subtracting it from both sides.

Part B: 19 - 2k = 3k - 1
Subtract 3k from both sides
19 - 5k = - 1
Subtract 19 from both sides
- 5k = -20
Divide by -5 on both sides

Students surveyed boys and girls separately to determine which sport was enjoyed the most. After completing the boy survey, it was determined that for every 3 boys who enjoyed soccer, 5 boys enjoyed basketball. The girl survey had a ratio of the number of girls who enjoyed soccer to the number of girls who enjoyed basketball of 7: 1. If the same number of boys and girls were surveyed, and 90 boys enjoy soccer, how many girls enjoy each sport?

Answers

Ratio of boys who liked soccer to boys who liked basketball = 3:5

Given :-

Number of boys who enjoyed soccer :-

[tex]\color{hotpink} = \color{hotpink}90 \: \: \color{hotpink}boys[/tex]

Total number of boys who were surveyed were equal to the total number of girls who were surveyed .

Which means :-

Let the total number of boys who were surveyed be x .

Total number of boys =

[tex] = \frac{3}{8} \times x = 90[/tex]

[tex] = x = 90 \div \frac{3}{8} [/tex]

[tex] = x = 90 \times \frac{8}{3} [/tex]

[tex] = x = \frac{720}{3} [/tex]

[tex]\color{hotpink}x =\color{hotpink} 240[/tex]

Which means a total of 240 boys were surveyed .

Number of boys who liked basketball :-

[tex] = \frac{5}{8} \times 240[/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1200}{8} [/tex]

[tex]\color{hotpink} = 150 \: \: boys[/tex]

Which means a total of 150 boys liked basketball .

Number of girls who liked soccer :-

[tex] = \frac{7}{8} \times 240[/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1680}{8} [/tex]

[tex]\color{hotpink} = 210 \: \: girls[/tex]

A total of 210 girls enjoyed soccer .

Number of girls who enjoyed basketball :-

[tex] = \frac{1}{8} \times 240[/tex]

[tex] = \frac{240}{8} [/tex]

[tex]\color{hotpink} = 30 \: \: girls[/tex]

A total of 30 girls like basketball .

Therefore , 210 girls enjoyed soccer and 30 girls enjoyed basketball .

Solve for x when 4x+x+2=10x−13

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets add 4x + x so that we can get one x value on that side of the equation.

4x + x + 2 = 10x - 13

5x + 2 = 10x - 13

Then we can solve for x from there

5x + 2 = 10x - 13

-5x + 2 = -13   [Subtract 10x from both sides of the equation]

-5x = -15   [Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation]

-x = -3   [Simplify]

x = 3   [Simplify]

Hope this helps! I apologize if I got this incorrect

Answer:  x = 3

Steps: 4x + x + 2 = 10x - 13

Combine like terms: 5x + 2 = 10x - 13

Subtract 2 from both sides: 5x + 2 - 2 = 10x - 13 - 2

Simplify: 5x = 10x - 15

Subtract 10x from both sides: 5x - 10x = 10x - 15 - 10x

Simplify: -5x = -15

Divide both sides by -5:  -5x ÷ -5  =  -15 ÷ -5

Simplify: x = 3

a and b are positive numbers.
a is inversely proportional to b.
when a=4,b=36
find value of a when b=a

Answers

Answer:

a = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a is inversely proportional to b then the equation relating them is

a = [tex]\frac{k}{b}[/tex] ← k is the comstant of proportion

To find k use the condition when a = 4, b = 36, then

4 = [tex]\frac{k}{36}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 36 )

144 = k

a = [tex]\frac{144}{b}[/tex] ← equation of proportion

When b = a , then

a = [tex]\frac{144}{a}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by a )

a² = 144 ( take square root of both sides )

a = ± [tex]\sqrt{144}[/tex] = ± 12

However a is a positive number, thus a = 12

x = 3, y = 6,2 = 4

x = 6.) = 3,2 = 4

Answers

Answer:

x = 3, y = 6, z = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If lines s, t, and u are perpendicular bisectors of the sides of APGH and meet at J, then JG = JH = JF = HI

Given

JG - 2x+ 2

JH - 2y-4

JF-8 a

HI - 3z-3,

Hence 2x+2 = 2y-4 = 3z-3 = 8

This means that

2x+2 = 8

2x = 8-2

2x = 6

x = 3

Also, 2y-4 = 8

2y = 8+4

2y = 12

y = 6

And 3z-3 = 8

3z = 8+3

3z = 11

z = 11/3

z = 3.67 ≈ 4

Hence x = 3, y = 6,z = 4

Let's plug x into the third equation, y = 4x + 1

y = 4 * 2 + 1

y = 8 + 1

y = 9

We already know that y = 9, so this equation is correct.
