It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.

Can you construct a triangle that has side lengths 2 yd, 9 yd, and 10 yd?
yan [13]

Yes


The rule to check if a triplet of numbers can represent the sides of a triangle is the following: the sum of the length of two sides must exceed the third one.


This happens for all possible couples in your case:


2+9=11>10


2+10=12>9


9+10=19>2

Bearing in mind that an absolute value expression is in effect a piece-wise function with two cases, thus

\bf |-n|=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;+(-n)\\&#10;-(-n)&#10;\end{cases}\implies &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;-n\\&#10;n&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;n|-n|=2n\implies &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n-n=2n\implies 0=2n\implies &0=n\\&#10;n+n=2n\implies 2n=2n\impliedby &inconsistent&#10;\end{cases}

Brian and Michael are getting high speed internet access at the same time. Brian’s provider charges $60 for installation and $42
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write formulas for the amount each person paid after x months. These will be

Brian = 60 + 42.95x

Michael = 0 + 57.95x

So for example, after 1 month Brian will have paid 102.95 for the installation and first month, while Michael will have paid only 57.95 (I put the zero in the equation to make it look like the familiar y-intercept form). We are trying the find the month at which they have paid equal amounts. Solve for x in the equation

60 + 42.95x = 57.95x

60 = (57.95 - 42.95)x

60 = 15x

x = 4

After four months.
