Loretta:
Average driving speed = 55 mph
Time = 4 hours
Distance traveled = 55*4 = 220 miles

Dad:
Average driving speed = 65 mph
Let x =  hours driven
Distance traveled = 65x miles

The length of the trip is 610 miles, therefore
65x + 220 = 610
65x = 390
x = 6  hours

Answer: Loretta's dad drove for 6 hours.

A bag contains 2 red marbles, 7 blue marbles and 5 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the exact pro
vivado [14]

Answer:

0.25 or 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Red + 3 Blue + 7 Green = 12 Total Marbles.

You have 3 blue marbles out of the total marbles, so 3/12, then simplify it. 3/12 = 1/4. This gives you 0.25, or 25%.  

The probability of drawing a blue marble is 0.25 or 25%

What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 12?
djverab [1.8K]
This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.

let the two numbers be x and y.

Multiply to 44.      x*y = 44 ..........(a)

Add up to 12.      x + y = 12 .........(b)

From (b)

y = 12 - x .......(c)

Substitute (c) into (a)

x*y = 44

x*(12 - x) = 44   

12x - x² = 44

-x² + 12x = 44

-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.       

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0

x² - 12x + 44 = 0.   

This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula

comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0,  a = 1, b = -12, c = 44 

x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a   or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a


x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)    

x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2

√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2

Where i is a complex number.  Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2      or     (12 - √-32 )/ 2   

x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2              (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2 

x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2                12/2 - (4i√2)/2

x = 6 + 2i√2            or         6 - 2i√2

Recall equation (c):

y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2

When x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2


x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 6 - 2i√2

x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 6 + 2i√2

Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:

6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2

I have been stuck on the problem for so long. please help me:
Xelga [282]

Answer:

D-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use elimination to get the value of y. Move numbers to one side and x and ys to the other side. To use elimination, multiply the first equation with 2. You will get 2x+2y=24. add it with the equation below. y will be eliminated and you will get the value of x. X=10. Plug in x and get the y value. Y=2
