First, we are going to find the distance traveled by the ship adding the tow distances:
Distance traveled= 24 mi +33 mi=57 mi

Next, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from a to c:
d^2=24^2+33^2
d^2=576+1089
d^2=1665
d= \sqrt{1665}
d=40.8 mi

Finally, we are going to subtract the two distances:
57 mi -40.8 mi= 16.2 mi

We can conclude that <span>if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c, it could have saved 16.2 miles.</span>

<span>5t=3b+660....and ... 2t+5b=450

from the first we can see that t=(3b+660)/5 and using this value in the second...

(6b+1320)/5+5b=450 making all have common denominator..

6b+1320+25b=2250

31b=930

b=30...and since 2t+5b=450

t=150</span>

deff fn [24]

Answer: w = -3u/2  +  2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12u + 13 = 8w - 3

-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w -3 + 3

-12u + 16 = 8w

w = -3u/2   +   2
