Let p and m represent the numbers of miles in the plains and mountains, respectively.
.. p + m = 300 . . . . . . . the whole trip was 300 miles

time = distance/speed, so the trip time can be written as
.. p/90 + m/37.5 = 3 48/60
.. 5p + 12m = 1710 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 450 to put in standard form

You can solve these two equations by any of several means. The variable p can be eliminated by subtracting 5 times the first from the second.
.. (5p +12m) -5(p +m) = 1710 -5*300
.. 7m = 210
.. m = 30

30 miles of the trip was through the mountains.

A triangle with 7,?, and form a right triangle.
Vlad1618 [11]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C  24

  D  25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the choices offered:

  5 and 7 will not form a triangle* with any of the other lengths

  7 and 12 will not form a triangle with any of the other (longer) lengths

  7 and 24 will form a triangle with the other possibilities, 25 and 29. (needs further consideration)

  7 and 25 will not form a right triangle with 29, because a right triangle cannot have 3 odd-length sides.

__

<em>Further consideration</em>

  7^2 +24^2 = 49 +576 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . checking Pythagorean theorem

The side measures 7, 24, 25 will form a right triangle.

_____

* A triangle can be formed from three segments only if the sum of the shortest two exceeds the length of the longest one.

Step by step how to solve 4x+2=5(x+10)​
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x = -48

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2 = 5(x + 10)

expand the 5(x+10)

4x + 2 = 5x + 50

-2 both sides

4x + 2 - 2 = 5x + 50 - 2

simplify

4x = 5x + 48

-5x both sides

4x - 5x = 5x + 48 - 5x

simplify

-x = 48

÷ (-1) both sides

-x ÷ (-1) = 48 ÷ (-1)

simplify

x = -48

The answer is x = -48.
