Since it is given that Boris takes x minutes to run 5 miles it means that Boris' speed will be given as:
.
Now, if Dylan runs slower than Boris and takes 12 more minutes to complete the 5 miles run, then that would mean that Dylan takes (x+12) minutes to complete the same run.
In this case we can see the Dylan's speed will be
.
Thus, the denominator represents the time Dylan takes to run 5 miles if he takes 12 minutes more than Boris.
Therefore, out of the given options, the second option is the correct option.
A mountain road makes the horizontal
Let x = number of adults tickets sold
then, 1750 - x = number of children tickets sold
We know that the cost for adult tickets is $5 and and children is above calculated so sum total tickets sold cost is $7100.
($5)(x) + ($2)(1750-x) = $7100
5x - 2x + 3500 = 7100
3x = 3600
x = 1200
Answer:
x=+/-3
Step-by-step explanation:
x^4-5x^2-36=0
factor
(x^2-9)(x^2+4)=0
split into 2 equations because one of these terms will need to equal zero for the eqation to be true
x^2-9=0 x^2+4=0
x^2=9 x^2=-4
x=+/-3 no real numbers
