Kevin and his elder brother Jason jog every morning. Kevin runs 1.5 miles per hour slower
than Jason. When Jason ran 5 miles, Kevin only ran 4.2 miles. Find their running speeds.
(Write an algebraic equation first, then solve.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jason - 9.375 miles per hour

Kevin -7.875 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jason’s running speed be x miles per hour

Kevin runs 1.5 miles per hour less;

so his running speed will be (x-1.5) miles per hour

At any point, distance = speed * time

Their running time is same here;

Jason’s running time will be 5/x

Kevin’s running time will be 4.2/(x-1.5)

These times are equal;

So;

5/x = 4.2/(x-1.5)

5(x-1.5) = 4.2x

5x - 7.5 = 4.2x

5x-4.2x = 7.5

0.8x = 7.5

x = 7.5/0.8

x = 9.375 miles per hour

So kevin’s speed will be 9.375 - 1.5 = 7.875 miles per hour

Solve for X.

Multiple choice!

Thank you!

Answers

Answer:

6x - 21 = 105 (vertically Opposite angles)

6x = 105 + 21

6x= 126

x=126/6

x= 21°

That should be the fifth option

OR

Another Way of solving

(6x - 21) + 75 = 180 ( angles on a straight line)

6x -21 + 75 =180

6x + 54 = 180

6x =180 - 54

6x = 126

x=126/6

x=21°

[tex] \large \sf \star \: \green{Answer} \: \star[/tex]

x = 21 °

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Angle 75 ° and ( 6 x - 21 ) are on straight line so it's supplementary angles and we know that sum of all angles of supplementary angles is 180 °.So, 6 x - 21 ° + 75 ° = 180 °

6 x - 21 ° + 75 ° = 180 °

6 x + 54° = 180 ° ...( Combine like terms)

subtract 54 ° from each sides

54° - 54° + 6 x = 180 ° - 54 °

6 x = 126°

x = 126 ° / 6 ...( Divide by 6 )

x = 21 °

An isosceles triangle has two 5.5 cm sides and two 32.4° angles. Explain how to determine the perimeter of the triangle. Include a diagram in your solution. You do NOT need to solve.

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The drawing in blue is what we are told in the problem.

We are given two sides and two angles.  It is an isosceles  triangle with two equal sides and two equal angles.  Draw a perpendicular bisector  ( it makes a 90 degree angle.  Now we have two identical right triangles.  We can use trig functions to find x

cos theta = adj/ hyp

cos 32.4 = x / 5.5

Solving for x

5.5 cos 32.4 =x

Now we have 2x for the third side of the triangle

2( 5.5 cos 32.4) is the third side

P = 5.5 + 5.5 + 2( 5.5 cos 32.4)

Answer:

See the Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a circle with a radius of 5.5 and center at A.

Take any point B on the circle and join AB.

Draw a line thru B making an angle 32.4 with AB which intersects the circle at D. Extend AD on both sides.

Draw two circles with a radius of 5.5cm and centers B and D which intersect the line BD at E and F.

Measure length EF, which is the perimeter of triangle ABD.=20.3 cm.

Method 2. Assume that base of the triangle =x cm.

x/2= 5.5 cos 32.4 and x=11*cos 32.4 =11*0.844=9.287

Perimeter = 20.287

Motorbikes have two wheels and cars have four wheels. There are a number of
motorbikes and cars in a parking lot. There are 14 motorbikes. Altogether, there are
324 wheels. How many cars are in the parking lot?
A.74 cars
B.148 cars
C.296 cars
D.310 cars​

Answers

Answer:

74 Cars

Step-by-step explanation:

If each motorbike has 2 wheels then we need to find how many wheels the motorbikes already take up.

We do this by doing 14*2 and we get 28 wheels.

Afterwards, we subtract this from the total of 324 to see how many wheels are left over. 324-28=296

Now we know the remaining amount of wheels and with this we can get our final answer!

Since there are 296 remaining wheels and each car takes up 4 we can divide 296 by 4 to see how many cars would be able to get their full set of tires.

296/4 = 74 and that;s how you get 74 cars!

For one roadway section, the average number of cars passing a point is 2200 pcphpl (i.e. passenger cars per hour per lane). The cars travel at an average speed of 42 mph. What is the average distance (in feet) between common points (e.g. the front bumper) on successive cars in one lane

Answers

Answer:

The average distance between common points on successive cars in one lane is of 100.8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

The cars travel at an average speed of 42 mph

Each mile has 5280 feet, so in 1 hour, the distance is of 42 miles = 221760 feet.

2200 pcphpl (i.e. passenger cars per hour per lane).

2200 cars in 221760 feet. Thus:

[tex]d = \frac{221760}{2200} = 100.8[/tex]

The average distance between common points on successive cars in one lane is of 100.8 feet.

Which equation best matches the graph shown below?

Answers

Answer:

y=0.5(x+6)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the parabola goes upwards as it expands from the vertex, the "a" value is definitely positive so the answer must be either the top-left or bottom-right. Next, use the roots to find the final answer. The roots are on the left side of the y-axis which indicates that they are negative. Now you know that the answer is the bottom-right answer because if both roots are negative, then the expressions must include addition to create 0 which is the y-value at the bases.

Martin deposits $200 in a savings account that earns 5% annual interest. four years later, cary deposits $200 in an account earning the same interest. let m represent the balance in martins account and let c represent the amount of money in carys account. choose the pair of expressions that describe the accounts y years after martin opened his account. martin: 200(1.05)y cary: 200(1.05)y+4 martin: 200(1.05)y+4 cary: 200(1.05)y4 martin: 200(0.05)y cary: 200(0.05)y4 martin: 200(1.05)y cary: 200(1.05)y4 choose the equation that relates the balances in the accounts y years after martin opened his account. c = m(1.05)4y m = c(1.05)4y c = 1.22m m = 1.22c

Answer:

m = m = 200(1.05)^y+4

c = m = 200(1.05)^y

m = 1.22c

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value can be represented as :

Future value, F = P(1 + r)^n

r = interest rate = 5% = 0.05 , n = number of years ;

For Martin :

m = 200(1 + 0.05)^n

For cyan :

c = 200(1 + 0.05)^n

y years after Martin

Cyan opened 4 years after Martin :

Representing in terms of y

Cyan = y ; Martin = y +4

m = m = 200(1.05)^y+4

c = m = 200(1.05)^y

From. Indices :

(1.05)^y+4 = 1.05^y * 1.05^4

Hence,

m = 200 * 1.05^y * 1.05^4

c = 200 * 1.05)^y

Hence,

m = c * 1.05^4

m = c * 1.2155

m = c * 1.22

m = 1.22c

The lawyer paid $2,000 per month to the owner and charged his subtenants $600 per month each. After having been in the building for three years, the lawyer and the owner orally agreed that the lawyer would purchase it for a price of $120,000, to be paid in monthly installments of $2,000 over a five-year period.
