Dennis went cross country skiing for 6 hours on Saturday. He skied 20 miles uphill and then 20 miles downhill, returning to his
yulyashka [42]

Answer: Downhill:10mph   Uphill:5mph

Step-by-step explanation:  

We are looking for Dennis’s downhill speed.

Let  

r=

 Dennis’s downhill speed.

His uphill speed is  

5

miles per hour slower.

Let  

r−5=

Dennis’s uphill speed.

Enter the rates into the chart. The distance is the same in both directions,  

20

miles.

Since  

D=rt

, we solve for  

t

and get  

t=

D

r

.

We divide the distance by the rate in each row and place the expression in the time column.

Write a word sentence about the time.

The total time traveled was  

6

hours.

Translate the sentence to get the equation.

Use the Zero Product Property.

r=

The solution

is unreasonable because

and his uphill speed cannot be negative. So, Dennis's downhill speed is  

10

mph and his uphill speed is  

10−5=5

mph.

Check. Is  

10

mph a reasonable speed for biking downhill? Yes.

Downhill:

10 mph

20 miles

=20 miles

Uphill:

10−5=5 mph

(10−5) mph⋅

20 miles

=20 miles

The total time traveled was  

6

hours.

Dennis’ downhill speed was  

10

mph and his uphill speed was  

5

mph.

Find x !!?????!!!????????????
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Find x

The figure in the attachment is a quadrilateral and the angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360.

So, we have:

90 + 6x + 5+ 10x - 40 + 4x + 5 = 360

Collect like terms

6x + 10x + 4x = 360 - 90 - 5 + 40 - 5

20x = 300

Divide both sides by 20

x = 15

Hence, the value of x is 15
