I don't know how to do this or what i'm doing plz help

recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.

we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} 12&1\\ 18&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{18}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies 12x=18\implies x=\cfrac{18}{12}\implies x=\cfrac{3}{2}$

so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.

then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.

let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.

the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.

$\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Hector&d&12&t+\frac{3}{2}\\[1em] Wanda&d&16&t \end{array}\qquad \implies \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)\\[1em] d=(16)(t) \end{cases}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting \underline{d} in the 2nd equation}}{\boxed{(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)}=16t}\implies 12t+18=16t \\\\\\ 18=4t\implies \cfrac{18}{4}=t\implies \cfrac{9}{2}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{four and a half hours}}{4\frac{1}{2}=t}$

(×+2) +(4×-122)=180 need help with this problem

alina1380 [7]

So first you need to open the brackets, so it would be x+2+4x-122=180. Then we can add the 4x and the other x to make 5x, and then by doing 2-122 we get -120. This gives us the equation 5x-120=180. We then isolate the variable by moving the -120 to the other side of the equation and becoming a positive, so it would look like 5x=180+120. Then, we have 5x=300. 300 divides by 5 is 60 making X=60. Hope this helps!

Answer:

$a + 95 \degree + 53\degree = 180\degree \\ a = 180\degree - (95 + 53)\degree \\ a = 32\degree$
