You first convert the 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 150 seconds.
Then, you take the 150s÷5m to get the number of seconds per mile.
The answer is 30s/m
Answer: Length: 4, width: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be x and width be y
Then x=2y-8 and xy=24
Substitute to get 2y-8 * y = 24, so 2y^2-8y=24 or y^2-4y=12, then solve to get y=6 or y=-2. Since width is positive y=6.
Substitute y=6 into xy=24 to get x=4.
Length: 4, width: 6

Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
If both the triangles ΔABC and ΔBCD are congruent,
Corresponding sides of both the triangles will be proportional.
5x(4x + 3) = (5x - 2)(3x + 10)
20x² + 15x = 15x² + 50x - 6x - 20
20x² + 15x = 15x² + 44x - 20
20x² - 15x² = 44x - 15x - 20
5x² = 29x - 20
5x² - 29x + 20 = 0
5x² - 25x - 4x + 20 = 0
5x(x - 5) - 4(x - 5) = 0
(5x - 4)(x - 5) = 0
The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something =-8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:
3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!
+14 +14
3/4x=6.
*4/3 *4/3
x=8.
