Answer:

x(x-5) = 14

x^2-5x-14 = 0

x^2 -7x+2x-14=0

x(x-7)+2(x-7)=0

(x+2)(x-7)=0

x = -2, 7

Hope this helps!

Jim began a 165 mile bicycle trip to build up stamina for a triathlete competition unfortunately his bike chain broke so he fini
denpristay [2]

Answer: Approximately 4.7 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

He rode the bicycle for some time before it broke down and he walked the remaining distance. This means that Jim covered a total of 165 miles by riding at a speed of 35 miles per hour and walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour.

Let x = the distance covered by riding the bicycle.

Let y = the distance covered by walking.

Time = distance /speed

Time he used in riding would be x/35

Time he used in walking would be y/3

Since the entire trip took 7 hours,

x/35 + y/3 = 7

3x + 35y = 735 - - - - - - - - 1

Total miles covered is 165. Therefore,

x + y = 165 - - - - - - - - -- - -2

Substituting x = 165-y into equation 1, it becomes

3(165-y) + 35y = 735

495-3y + 35y = 735

-3y + 135y = 735-495

132y = 240

y = 240/132

y = 1.81m

x = 165 - 1.81 = 163.19

Amount of time that he spent on the bicycle will be

x/35 = 163.19/35

= 4.66

Approximately 4.7 hours.

Pls help me with this problem!!!!
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠YAZ + ∠YAX = 180° because they are linear pairs

∠YAZ + ∠YAX = 180°

∠YAZ + 125 = 180

Subtract both sides by 125

∠YAZ = 55°

Hope that helped!
