Total triathlon distance →1.5 km + 40km  + 10 km = 51.5 km

So 51.5 km represents 100% of distance covered.

The % of each component = (distance of component/Total distance) multiplied by 100% so :

% of swim → (1.5 / 51.5) × 100 → 0.029 × 100 = 2.9%

% of bike ride → (40 / 51.5) × 100 →0.776 × 100 = 77.6%

% of  run → (10 / 51.5) × 100 → 0.194 × 100 = 19.4%

Percentage spent on land  will be

(40 km bike ride + 10 km run / Total triathlon distance) multiplied by 100%

(50 / 51.5) × 100 → 0.970 ×100 = 97%

Simplify to create an equivalent expression.<br> −5(1−5k)−4(2k+5)
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

17 k + -25

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-5 (1 - 5 k) - 4 (2 k + 5)

-5 (1 - 5 k) = 25 k - 5:

25 k - 5 - 4 (2 k + 5)

-4 (2 k + 5) = -8 k - 20:

25 k + -8 k - 20 - 5

Grouping like terms, 25 k - 8 k - 20 - 5 = (25 k - 8 k) + (-5 - 20):

(25 k - 8 k) + (-5 - 20)

25 k - 8 k = 17 k:

17 k + (-5 - 20)

-5 - 20 = -25:

Answer: 17 k + -25

The average (arithmetic mean) of y numbers is x. If 30 is added to the set of numbers, then the average will be x − 5. What is t
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5}(x^{2}-35x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total numbers are n.

If the average of y numbers is x then we can form an equation

\frac{y}{n}=x

⇒ \frac{n}{y}=\frac{1}{x}

⇒ n = \frac{y}{x} --------(1)

Now 30 is added to the set of numbers then average becomes (x - 5)

\frac{y+30}{n+1}=(x-5)

⇒ \frac{(n+1)}{(y+30)}=\frac{1}{(x-5)}

⇒ (n + 1) = \frac{y+30}{x-5}

⇒ n = \frac{y+30}{x-5} - 1 ----- (2)

Now we equate the values of n from equation 1 and 2

\frac{y}{x} = \frac{y+30}{x-5} - 1

y(x - 5) = x(y + 30) - x(x - 5)  [ By cross multiplication ]

xy - 5y = xy + 30x - x² + 5x

xy - xy - 5y = 35x - x²

-5y = 35x - x²

x² - 35x = 5y

y = \frac{1}{5}(x^{2}-35x)

What is the value of x?
OLga [1]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

<em>a</em> = a leg

<em>b</em> = another leg

<em>c</em> = hypotenuse

Step 1: Plug in known variables

x² + 10² = 26²

Step 2: Evaluate

x² + 100 = 676

Step 3: Isolate <em>x </em>term

x² = 576

Step 4: Isolate <em>x</em>

√x² = √576

x = 24
