12x = 10x + 3

Subtract 10x from both sides

2x = 3
Divide by two on each side

x = 3/2 or 1 1/2 hours



Distance of the trip:

12 * 2 * 3/2 = 36 miles

How long does the trip take:

3/2 + 3/2 + 3/10 = 3 3/10 hours

Answer:

a) 36 miles

b) 3.3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Downwind speed of the bird = 12 mph

Time for travel = x hours

Speed at the return = 12 mph - 2 mph = 10 mph

Distance left = 3 miles

Now,

The distance covered at 12 mph = 12 × x = 12x

now,

distance covered with speed 10 mph in x hours = 10x

also,

10x + 3 = 12x

or

2x = 3

or

x = 1.5 hours

Therefore,

the distance of the entire trip = 2 × 12x = 2 × 12 × 1.5 = 36 miles

Now,

the time taken to complete remaining 3 miles while returning = \frac{3}{10}=0.3 hours

hence,

the total time for the entire trip = 2 × 1.5 + 0.3 = 3.3 hours

Please help me find the function to y
Fed [463]

Answer:

(-1, -7) (0, -1) (1, 5) (5, 29)

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so the equation is y = 6x - 1

all you have to do is plug in all the x values to get the y

y = 6(-1) - 1

y = - 6 - 1

y = -7

y = 6(0) - 1

y = 0 - 1

y = -1

y = 6(1) - 1

y = 6 - 1

y = 5

y = 6(5) - 1

y = 30 - 1

y = 29

Can someone explain thermal energy in ur own words pls, pls help will give brainliest.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Thermal energy refers to several distinct physical concepts, such as the internal energy of a system; heat or sensible heat, which are defined as types of energy transfer; or for the characteristic energy of a degree of freedom in a thermal system kT, where T is temperature and k is the Boltzmann constant.

A train leaves at 1314 and arrives at 1508. It travelled at an average speed of 105 km/h.
Paraphin [41]

Answer: The train traveled 199.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the relationship:

Distance = Time*Speed

We know that the speed of the train was 105km/h

And we know that it leaves at 13:14, and arrives at 15:08.

Then the total amount of time that the train was traveling is:

T = (15 hours and 8 mins) - (13 hours and 14 mins)

= (15 - 13) hours and (8 - 14) mins

=  2 hours and (-6) mins.

We know that one hour has 60 minutes, then this is equal to:

T = 1 hour and 54 minutes.

But because the speed is kilometers per hour, we need to rewrite the 54 minutes in hours.

This can be done as follows:

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Then: 54 minutes = (54/60) hours = 0.9 hours.

Then:

1 hour and 54 minutes = 1.9 hours.

Now we know the speed and the time, then the distance can be calculated as:

Distance = speed*time = 105km/h*(1.9 h) = 199.5 km

The train traveled 199.5 km

What is the solution of sqrt (x-4)+5=2
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>sqrt (x-4) + 5 = 2</em>

<em>The equation is √(x+4) + 5 = 2</em>

√(x-4) = 2 - 5

√(x-4) = -3

x-4 = (-3)²

x-4 = 9

x = 9 + 4

x = 13

Therefore, the second option x = 13 is correct.
