Her school is 2/3 miles away

2/3=4/6miles

So we need to find out how long it will take for her to run home from school...

School=4/6 miles

In 1 minutes she can run 1/6 miles

1min=1/6miles

In 2 minutes she can run 1/6+1/6 miles (1/6+1/6=2/6)

2min=2/6miles

3min=3/6miles

4min=4/6miles

It will take Erica 4 minutes to run 4/6 miles, so it'll take her 4 minutes to get home.

Question:

The circumference of a clock is 22 inches. What is the radius of the clock?

Answer:

Radius = 3.5 inches

Solution:

Shape of the clock is circle.

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

Circumference of a clock = 22 inches

$\Rightarrow2\pi r=22$

$$\Rightarrow2\times\frac{22}{7}\times r=22$

$$\Rightarrow\frac{44}{7}\times r=22$

$$\Rightarrow r=22\times \frac{7}{44}$

$$\Rightarrow r=\frac{7}{2}$

⇒ r = 3.5 inches

Hence the radius of the clock is 3.5 inches.

Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following equation:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - 2x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 } - x$

to do so isolate -x to the left hand side and change its sign:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - 2x + x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 }$

simplify addition:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 }$

square both sides:

$\rm\displaystyle (5 - x {)}^{2} = (\sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 } {)}^{2}$

simplify square of the right hand side:

$\rm\displaystyle (5 - x {)}^{2} = {2x}^{2} + x - 1$

use (a-b)²=a²-2ab+b² to expand the left hand side:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} - 10x + 25= {2x}^{2} + x - 1$

swap the equation:

$\rm\displaystyle {2x}^{2} + x - 1 = {x}^{2} - 10x + 25$

isolate the right hand side expression to the left hand side and change every sign:

$\rm\displaystyle {2x}^{2} + x - 1 - {x}^{2} + 10x - 25 = 0$

simplify:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} + 11x - 26= 0$

rewrite the middle term as 13x-2x:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} + 13x - 2x - 26= 0$

factor out x:

$\rm\displaystyle x({x}^{} + 13)- 2x - 26= 0$

factor out -2:

$\rm\displaystyle x({x}^{} + 13)- 2(x + 13)= 0$

group:

$\rm\displaystyle (x- 2)(x + 13)= 0$

by <em>Zero</em><em> </em><em>product</em><em> </em><em>property</em> we obtain:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x- 2 = 0\\ x + 13= 0 \end{cases}$

solve for x:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x = 2\\ x = - 13 \end{cases}$

to check for extraneous solutions we can define the domain of equation recall that a square root of a function is always greater than or equal to 0 therefore

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - x \geq0$

solve the inequality for x:

$\rm\displaystyle x \leqslant 5$

since 2 and -13 is less than 5 both solutions are valid for x hence,

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x _{1} = 2\\ x_{2} = - 13 \end{cases}$

and we're done!
