Answer: 6.8571 (Round as needed)
Hope this is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple ratio problem
Using the similarity statement we can say 14:12, (ab:pq)
That is our ratio.
So we do 14/12 = 8/x, we solve this using algebra to get our answer.
Hope this is correct.
Answer:The line of reflection is the y axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the information given, the speed is 20 miles per hour.
From the information given, the winner of the local triathlon swam 0.5 miles, biked 15 miles and ran 2.5 miles and he finished the race in 54 minutes.
Note that 54 minutes = 0.9 hour.
The speed will be:
= (0.5 + 15 + 2.5) / 0.9
= 18/0.9
= 20 miles per hour.

Sure, here is how I broke it down. The bird is flying a constant X miles per hour with a wind speed of Y miles per hour. So, there are two equations that you use to solve. Here they are:
X+Y=12
X-Y=4
Now, you have to use substitution or elimination to solve (I will use elimination). To use elimination, you simply add both equations together to get:
2X=16
Solve for X by dividing by 2.
X=8. We already established that X is the speed of the bird. Plug X back into either of the equations to find the windspeed.
(8)+Y=12
Subtract 8 from both sides.
Y=4. We already established that Y is the windspeed.
So, the speed of the bird (X) is 8mph and the speed of the wind (Y) is 4mph.
Hope this helped!!
