Let's say her speed was x miles/hour during the first 3 miles runThen, time = distance/speedt1 = 3/x       eq1 In the next 4 miles run, her speed = x-1 miles/hourTime taken:t2 = 4/(x-1)      eq2 Now, total time:t1 + t2 = 1 3/5 hourssubstitute t1 and t2 from eqs. 1 and 2 3/x + 4/(x-1) = 1 3/5=> 3/x + 4/(x-1) = 8/5
=> 3(x-1) + 4x = 8x(x-1)/5=> 35x - 15 = 8x2 - 8x=> 8x2 - 43x + 15 = 0=> (8x-3)*(x-5) = 0=> x = 3/8 or 5 miles/hourx can not be 3/8 miles/hour because in that case, the speed during 4 miles run would be 3/8-1 = negative numberi.e. speed during 3 miles segment = 5 miles/hourand speed during 4 miles segment = 5-1 = 4 miles/hour

How many inches is each slice of pizza?
mariarad [96]

Hey!


First, let's find the area. The formula for finding area of a circle is: π · r²


Radius is ½ of the diameter. Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius.


d = 18

18 ÷ 2 = 9


r = 9

r² = 9 × 9 = 81


The area of the whole pizza is 81π. There are 10 slices. Divide the area of the whole pizza by 10 to find the area of 1 slice.


81π ÷ 10 = 8.1π


<em>That means each slice is 8.1π inches²</em>

Forty is no greater than the difference of a number and 2
GuDViN [60]
This can be written as:
40  \leq  n - 2

"No greater than" does not necessarily mean less than, but it just means it cannot go over. So equal to or less than.

"The difference of a number and 2" can be represented as "n - 2"

If you were to solve this inequality, you would end up getting:
42  \leq  n or n  \geq  42

Hope this helps! :)
