Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista

nce in 1.5 h. Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A. How fast did Car B travel? (The formula R⋅T=D , where R is the rate of speed, T is the time, and D is the distance can be used.) Enter your answer for the box.

Recall your d = rt,  distance = rate * time.

notice, the distance are the same, say it was "d" miles.

and if car A is travelling at a speed of say "r" mph, then B is going at "r+15" mph.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{Car A}&d&r&2\\
\textit{Car B}&d&r+15&1.5
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=2r\\
d=1.5(r+15)\\
----------\\
\boxed{2r}=1.5(r+15)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2r=1.5r+22.5\implies 0.5r=22.5\implies r=\cfrac{22.5}{0.5}\implies \boxed{r=\stackrel{mph}{45}}

how far is B going?  well, r + 15.

-8(2x +x )/-2y , if x=-5, y=2 and z=0
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

<h3>              -8(2x +x )/-2y  = - 30</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-5, y=2 and z=0

-8(2x +x )/-2y =(-8•3x)/-2y = [-8•3(-5)] / (-2•2) = 120/(-4) =-30

Find an equation of the plane consisting of all points that are equidistant from (-3, 5, -4) and (-5, 0, 4), and having -2 as th
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

-2x-5y+8z+4.5=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,y,z) be the coordinates of the point lying on the needed plane. This point is equidistant from the points (-3, 5, -4) and (-5, 0, 4), so

d_1=\sqrt{(x-(-3))^2+(y-5)^2+(z-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2}\\ \\d_2=\sqrt{(x-(-5))^2+(y-0)^2+(z-4)^2}=\sqrt{(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2}\\ \\d_1=d_2\Rightarrow \sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2}=\sqrt{(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2}\\ \\(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2=(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2\\ \\x^2+6x+9+y^2-10y+25+z^2+8z+16=x^2+10x+25+y^2+z^2-8z+16\\ \\-4x-10y+16z+9=0\\ \\-2x-5y+8z+4.5=0

You travel 5 miles downstream in a kayak at a speed of r miles per hour. You turn around and travel 6 miles upstream at a speed
Vlad1618 [11]
Kyle, d = rt, right? This means that t = d/r. If we call the rate of the current c, then her rate upstream is hindered by the current and is 3 - c. Downstream is 3 + c. The total time is 6 hours... 5/(3 - c) + 5/(3 + c) = 6 Once we put everything over the same denominator, we don't need it anymore. 5(3 + c) + 5(3 - c) = 6(3 - c)(3 + c) 15 + 5c + 15 - 5c = 54 - 6c2
30 = 54 - 6c26c2 = 24c2 = 4c = 2 2 mph
