<h2>Answer:</h2>

His average speed on the return drive is:

                             50 mph

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let d be the distance from home to the place of his job interview.

Let s be the average speed when he drive to his job interview.

Now, it is given that:

It took Gustavo 5 hours to drive to a job interview.

We know that distance is the product of speed and time.

i.e.

Distance=Speed\times Time

Hence, we have:

d=5s--------(1)

Also,

On the way home, he was able to increase his average speed by 20 mph and make the return drive in only 3 hours.

His average speed back home is: s+20

and his time is: 3 hours

Hence, we have:

d=3(s+20)\\\\i.e.\\\\d=3s+60----------(2)

From equation (1) and equation (2) we have:

5s=3s+60\\\\i.e.\\\\5s-3s=60\\\\2s=60\\\\s=\dfrac{60}{2}\\\\s=30\ mph

Hence, his average speed on the return drive is: s+20

                                                                              = 30+20

                                                                             = 50 mph

What is the area of a triangle with vertices (3,0) (9,0) (7,6)
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The area of the triangle is of 21 units of area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle with three vertices (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),(x_3,y_3) is given by the determinant of the following matrix:

A = \pm 0.5 \left|\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&y_1&1\\x_2&y_2&1\\1_3&y_3&1\end{array}\right|

In this question:

Vertices (3,0) (9,0) (7,6). So

A = \pm 0.5 \left|\begin{array}{ccc}3&0&1\\9&0&1\\7&7&1\end{array}\right|

A = \pm 0.5(3*0*1+0*1*7+1*9*7-0*7*1-0*9*1-3*1*7)

A = \pm 0.5*(63-21)

A = \pm 0.5*42 = 21

The area of the triangle is of 21 units of area.

Which expreion are equivalent to
Makovka662 [10]

The expression equivalent to the expression -90 - 60w is -30(3 + 2w),  (-9 - 6w)10 and  -20(4.5 + 3w)

We need to find the expressions that are equivalent to given expression

We solve the expression and check,

A) -30(3 + 2w)

-90 - 60w

Yes it is equivalent.

B) (-9 - 6w)10

-90 - 60w

Yes it is equivalent.

C) -3(30 - 20w)

-90 + 60w

No it is not equivalent.

D)(6 + 4w)15

90 + 60w

No it is not equivalent.

E) -20(4.5 + 3w)

-90 - 60w

Yes it is equivalent.

Therefore, The expression equivalent to the expression -90 - 60w is -30(3 + 2w),  (-9 - 6w)10 and  -20(4.5 + 3w)
