The speed of an object is its distance traveled per unit time

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip <u>55.5</u>

<u />

The reason the average speed value is correct is given as follows:

The known parameters;

The length of the first part of the trip, L = 218 mile

Duration of the time the sales person travels, t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute

Average speed of travel, v₁ = 64 mph

The time at which the salesperson arrive at the destination, t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes

Required:

To find the average speed required for the remainder of the trip

Solution:

Distance traveled = Speed × Time

The distance traveled on the first part of the trip, <em>d₁ = v₁ × t₁</em>

(t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute = 2.25 hours)

∴ d = 64 mph × 2.25 hours = 144 miles

The distance of the remainder part of the trip, d₂ = L - d₁

d₂ = 218 mile - 144 mile = 74 mile

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂, is given as follows;

v_2 = \dfrac{d_2}{t_2}

t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes = 1\frac{1}{3}  \ hour = \frac{4}{3}  \, hour

Therefore;

v_2 = \dfrac{74 \ mile}{1\frac{1}{3} \ hour} = 55.5 \ mph

With the units left out, we have;

<u>The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂ = 55.5</u>

If (x+3)divided by 3 = 9 what is x
defon

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

(x+3)/3 = 9

multiplying both sides by 3

(x+3) = 9*3

(x+3)= 27

Subtracting 3 from both sides

x= 27-3

x=24

Answer:

12x^2+2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=4x^2+6+7+−1(−8x^2−2x+6)

=4x^2+6+7+−1(−8x^2)+−1(−2x)+(−1)(6)

=4x^2+6+7+8x^2+2x+−6

Combine Like Terms:

=4x^2+6+7+8x^2+2x+−6

=(4x^2+8x^2)+(2x)+(6+7+−6)

=12x^2+2x+7
