The value of y in the triangle is 7.5

<h3>How to calculate the value of y?</h3>

The given parameter is the triangle

On the triangle, we have the following equivalent ratio

y : 8 = y + 15 : 20

Express as fraction

y/8 = y + 15/20

Cross multiply

20y = 8y + 90

Collect the like terms

20y - 8y = 90

Evaluate

12y = 90

Divide by 12

y = 7.5

Hence, the value of y in the triangle is 7.5

K-3k²-3k+2k²<br><br><br>what is the answer<br>please help me

laiz [17]

Answer:

Assuming you want to simplify the expression, it can be shortened to:

-k² - 2k

Step-by-step explanation:

What you need to do here is called grouping like terms. Like terms can be described as terms that have the same factors. In this case, the factors we're looking at are k and k²:

Given:

k - 3k² -3k + 2k²

We'll rearrange to group like expressions:

= -3k² + 2k² + k -3k

Pull out common factors:

= (-3 + 2)k² + (1 - 3)k

And simplify:

= -k² - 2k

Answer:

15.05 miles

2 :09:12

5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

28/4/18:

Time : 1 :03 : 25

Fastest mile = 02 : 25

Distance = 15.05 miles

03/5/18:

Time : 2:06: 41

Fastest mile = 02 : 53

Distance = 28.70 miles

08/5/18:

Time : 2 :09:12

Fastest mile = 02 : 45

Distance = 26.39 miles2

1.) shortest distance cycled :

From the data:

15.05 < 26.39 < 28.70

Shortest distance cycled = 15.05 miles

The longest the cycled:

1 :03 : 25 < 2:06: 41 < 2 :09:12

Longest = 2 :09:12

Total cycling time :

1 :03 : 25 + 2:06: 41 + 2 :09:12

(1 + 2 + 2)= 5 hrs

(03 + 06+ 09) = 18 minutes

(25 + 41 + 12) = 78 seconds = 1 minute 18 seconds

18 minutes + 1 minute = 19 minutes

Total = 5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds
