To solve this problem, you can create a system of equations and solve for each hiker's distance walked.

Hiker 1 distance walked: x
Hiker 2 distance walked: y

Their combined distance walked is 53 miles, thus - 
x + y = 53

The difference between miles walked is 25, thus - 
x - 25 = y

Let's solve using substitution. To do that, substitute x - 23 into x + y = 53 for y.

x + y = 53
x + (x - 25) = 53
x + x - 25 = 53
2x - 25 = 53
2x = 78
x = 39

To find y, substitute 39 for x into either of the equations.

x + y = 53
39 + y = 53
y = 14

Finally, check all work.

x + y = 53
39 + 14 = 53
53 = 53

x - 25 = y
39 - 25 = 14
14 = 14

Answer:
One hiker walked 39 miles and the other hiker walked 14 miles.

The top of a ladder is leaning on a building at a point 12 feet above the ground.The bottom of the ladder is 5 feet from the bas
oee [108]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

using c^2 = a^2 + b^2

whereas c is the length of the ladder

a is the top of the ladder

b is the distance from building

so c^2 = 12^2 + 5^2 = 144 + 25 = 169

c = 13

In your lab, a substance's temperature has been observed to follow the function T(x) = (x − 4)3 + 6. The turning point of the gr
Montano1993 [528]

Yo sup??

To find the turning point we have to differentiate the given function.

T(x)=(x-4)3+6

T'(x)=3

Therefore the turning point is at 3

Hope this helps.

If the measure of an exterior angle drawn at vertex M
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that measure of an exterior angle which are drawn at vertex M=x

We have to find the value of measurement of angle L+measurement of angle N.

Exterior angle:It is defined as that angle of triangle which is formed by the one side of triangle and the extension of an  adjacent side of triangle.  The measure of exterior angle is equal to sum of measures  of two non-adjacent interior angles of a triangle.

Angle L  and angle N are two non-adjacent angles of a given triangle LMN.

By definition of exterior angle

x=Measure of angle L+Measure of angle N
