Eugenia walked all the way to school at 3 mph then realized she forgot her math book (how could she?!), so she ran back at 7 mph

Let us say distance between Eugenia's home and school is x miles.

Speed of Eugenia when she walked from home to school = 3 mph

Speed of Eugenia when she walked from school to home = 7 mph

Total time taken = 45 minutes or 0.75 hours

We know that the speed distance formula is given by:

$speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

Time taken by Eugenia when she walked from home to school = x/3 hours

Time taken by Eugenia when she walked from school to home = x/7 hours

Total time taken = x/3+x/7

So forming an equation we have,

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{7}=0.75$

Taking lcd of 7 and 3 as 21,

$\frac{7x}{21}+\frac{3x}{21}=0.75$

$\frac{10x}{21}=0.75$

10x=15.75

Dividing both sides by 10 , we have

x= 1.575

Answer: So we can say that the distance between Eugenia's house and school is 1.575 miles.

Identify the factors of x2-8x-20

sukhopar [10]

Simplifying x2 + -8x = 20 Reorder the terms: -8x + x2 = 20 Solving -8x + x2 = 20 Solving for variable 'x'. Reorder the terms: -20 + -8x + x2 = 20 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 -20 + -8x + x2 = 0 Factor a trinomial. (-2 + -1x)(10 + -1x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + -1x = 0 Solving -2 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 2 -1x = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 -1x = 2 Divide each side by '-1'. x = -2 Simplifying x = -2 Subproblem 2Set the factor '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 10 + -1x = 0 Solving 10 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10' to each side of the equation. 10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -10 -1x = 0 + -10 Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10 -1x = -10 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 10 Simplifying x = 10Solutionx = {-2, 10}
