Answer:

Speeds of two cars will be 52 mph and 64 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cars leave a town at same time.

Speed of one car = 12 mph faster than other.

Let the speed of other car is x.

then speed of first car = (x+12)

After 2 hours they are 232 miles apart.

Distance traveled by first car in 2 hours = 2x miles

Distance traveled by second car in 2 hours = 2( x+12 ) miles

Therefore, 2x + 2 (x+12) = 232

                   x = ( x + 12 ) =  \frac{232}{2} = 116

                  2x + 12 = 116

                  2x = 116 - 12

                 2x = 104

                  x =  \frac{104}{2}

                   x = 52 miles/hour

Speed of the first car = x + 12

                                  =  52 + 12

                                   = 64 mph

Speeds of two cars will be 52 mph and 64 mph.

One is going 52 and the other 64
2 (x)+2 (x+12)=232 and solve

Breann solved the system of equations below. What mistake did she make in her work? 2x + y = 5 x − 2y = 10 y = 5 − 2x x − 2(5 −
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

No mistake

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 5

x - 2y = 10

y = 5 - 2x

x - 2(5 - 2x) = 10

x - 10 + 4x = 10

5x - 10 = 10

5x = 20

x = 4

2(4) + y = 5

y =  -3

She made no mistake

You can check by plugging in x = 4 and y = -3 into the original equations . They fit exactly.

Line GJ is tangent to point A at point G.<br><br> If AG = 9 and GJ = 12, find AJ.
svlad2 [7]
Okay we know that tangent-chords creat 90 degree angles so what we have is a right triangle with a base of 9 and a height of 12, so do Pythoagoreas Theorem and we have 81+144=225 square root of 225 is 15 and that is AJ
