The simplest and probably the best way to understand this problem is to make up a problem that obeys what you have been given. It doesn't have to be realistic. It just has to obey the conditions. Let us suppose that you thought the diameter of the tire is 1 yard. That would mean the circumfrence is pi * d
C = 3.14 * 1
That would mean that the circumference is 3.14 yards. It would also mean that you would have to have the wheel turn 1760 yards / /3.14 yards / revolution which is about 561 revolutions / mile. So the way I have set up the problem, my equation is d = 561 * R where R is the number of revolutions.
Now let's see what happens when you say "O my Goodness, the wheel diameter is really 32 inches" which 0.8888888 yards what happens now?
Now you still have to go 1760 yards How many revolutions is that?
C = pi * d
C = 3.14 * 0.88888888
C = 2.79111 yards
How many revolutions does it take to 1760 yards.
R = 1760 // 2.78111 yards / revolution
R = 631 revolutions / mile. What happened?
Your constant goes up if the wheel diameter goes down. Think about this. Do you ride a bicycle? I do. It makes perfect sense to me that if the wheel is small, it will have to turn more often to go a mile. No matter where that 0.00125 comes from or how it was derived, the constant will have to go up if the wheel gets smaller.
To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you must use a^2 + b^2 = c^2
* keep in mind the hypotenuse MUST be larger than the legs.
The Pythagorean Theorem comes from making 2 squares from the lengths of each leg (that is why it is a^2 and b^2). The hypotenuse must be equal to the area of the two squares created.
Answer:
(x+9,y-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry if this didnt help
<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:
1) Group the x terms together on the left: ax - bx - c = d
2) Group the constant terms together: ax - bx = c + d
3) factor out x: x(a - b) = c + d
4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
c+d
</span> x(a - b) = c + d => x = ---------
a-b
This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction: a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).
