Answer:

6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the route length be r.  The distance the cyclist has already covered is then (5/7)r + 40.  This plus 0.75r - 118 must = r, the length of the entire route.

Then:

(5/7)r + 40 + (3/4)r - 118 = r

The LCD of the fractions 5/7 and 3/4 is 28.  We thus have:

(20/28)r + 40 + (21/28)r - 118 = r, or

(41/28)r - 78 = (28/28)r

Combining the r terms, we get 13r = 78, and so r = 78/13 = 6.

The cyclist's bike route is 6 miles long.

Solve for x in the equation 2x^2+14x+17=-96
goblinko [34]
2x^{2}+14x+17=-96 \newline&#10;2x^{2}+14x+113=0 \newline&#10;\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = 14^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 113 = -708.

Since \Delta is negative \Rightarrow x \notin \mathbb{R}.
