Answer:

r = 28 km/hr

d = 140 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two towns is d

We know the formula for distance is d = rt

A biker covered half the distance between two towns in 2 hr 30 min.

Changing the time to hours and calling the rate r

d/2 = r * 2 1/2

For the second part the rate is (r+2)

He covered the second half of the distance in 2 hr 20 min

Changing the time to hours 2 hrs 20 min = 2 1/3 hours

d/2 = (r+2)( 2 1/3)

Since the distances are the same, we can set the two equations equal

r * 2 1/2 = (r+2)( 2 1/3)

Changing to improper fractions

r (5/2) = (r+2) 7/3

Multiplying each side by 6 to clear the fractions

6r (5/2) = (r+2) 7/3*6

15r = (r+2) *14

Distribute

15r = 14r+28

Subtracting 14r from each side

15r-14r = 14r-14r+28

r = 28

Now we want to find the distance

d/2 = r * 2 1/2

d/2 = 28 (5/2)

Multiply each side by 2

d/2*2 = 28 (5/2)*2

d = 28 *5

d = 140

Answer:

Distance: 140 km

Initial speed: 28 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

D = speed × time

let S be the Intial speed

And D be the half distance

D = S × 2½

D = (S + 2) × 2⅓

(5/2)S = (S + 2) × 7/3

7/3 S - 5/2 S = 14/3

S/6 = 14/3

S = 28 km/hr

D = 5×28/2 = 70

Total distance = 2×70 = 140 km

the perimeter of a rectangle is 60 meters. if the length of the rectangle is 14 meters. what is the width of the rectangle.,
Ray Of Light [21]
Perimeter is 2width+2length
Therefore since you already know that the perimeter is 60 and the length is 14 you can set up the equation; 
60= 2w+14
with this you then need to find w so;
60=2w+14
-14     -14
46=2w
(46/2)=(2w/2)
13=w
The width is 13

Simplify the first numerator first
-2(x+1)
-2x-2

Then you can set up an equation using cross multiplication
5(-2x-2)= 3x

Simplify and solve
-10x-10=3x
-10=13x
-10/13=x

Final answer: x=-10/13
