Answer:

Jada walked $13\ miles$

Elena walked $9\ miles$

Lin walked $15\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> total miles walked by Jada

y----> total miles walked by Elena

z----> total miles walked by Lin

we know that

$x+y+z=37$ -----> equation A

$x=y+4$ -----> $y=x-4$ ------> equation B

$z=x+2$ ------> equation C

Substitute equation C and equation B in equation A and solve for x

$x+(x-4)+(x+2)=37$

$3x=37+2$

$3x=39$

$x=13\ mi$

Find the value of y

$y=13-4=9\ mi$

Find the value of z

$z=13+2=15\ mi$

therefore

Jada walked $13\ miles$

Elena walked $9\ miles$

Lin walked $15\ miles$

The total space needed is 600 feet. Because 5 tables times 72 feet is 360 and 5 tables times 48 feet a part is 249. You add them and it comes out to be 600. It should be worked out like this 5(72+48)

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Rom4ik [11]

Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2: </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

</span> x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).

Nata [24]

Answer:

90,747

Step-by-step explanation:

Clair delivery=79 per day

Total delivery per year=79×365 days

=28,835

Reagan delivery=2490 per month

Total delivery per year=2490×12 months

=29,880

Anthony delivery= 616 per week

Total delivery per year =616×52 weeks

=32,032

Total delivery altogether in a year=28,835+29,880+32,032

=90,747

Find the obtuse angle between the following pair of straight lines.

ioda

Given:

$y=-2$

$y=\sqrt{3}x-1$

To find:

The obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

$y=mx+b$ ...(i)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The given equations are

$y=0x-2$

$y=\sqrt{3}x-1$

On comparing these equations with (i), we get

$m_1=0$

$m_2=\sqrt{3}$

Angle between two lines whose slopes are $m_1\text{ and }m_2$ is

$\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{m_2-m_1}{1+m_1m_2}\right|$

Putting $m_1=0$ and $m_2=\sqrt{3}$ , we get

$\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-0}{1+(0)(\sqrt{3})}\right|$

$\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{1+0}\right|$

$\tan \theta=\pm \sqrt{3}$

Now,

$\tan \theta= \sqrt{3}$ and $\tan \theta=-\sqrt{3}$

$\tan \theta= \tan 60^\circ$ and $\tan \theta=\tan (180^\circ-60^\circ)$

$\theta= 60^\circ$ and $\theta=120^\circ$

$120>90$ , so it is an obtuse angle and $60$ , so it is an acute angle.

Therefore, the obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines is 120°.
