Answer:

8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the distance that I traveled to the park and the distance that I traveled to get back home are the same, and that distance = rate x time, we have that

(x^2)(3)=(16-4x)(4)

3x^2=64-16x

3x^2+16x-64=0

(3x-8)(x+8)=0

Solving this equation, we get the solutions x=8/3 and x=-8. Since x must be positive, we have x=8/3.

The temperature falls from 0 degrees to Negative 12 and one-fourth degrees in 3 and one-half hours. Which expression finds the c
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The expression used to find the change in temperature per hour is Algebraic expression

Thus per hour; the temperature falls at the rate of - 3\dfrac{1}{2}^0

Step-by-step explanation:

A temperature falls from 0 to  - 12\dfrac{1}{4}     in     3\dfrac{1}{2} \ hours

Which expression finds the change in temperature per hour.

From the above given information;

The initial temperature is 0

The final temperature is  - 12\dfrac{1}{4}  

The change in temperature is \Delta T = T_2  -  T_1

\Delta  T = -12\dfrac{1}{4} -0

\Delta T = -12.25

Thus;

-12.25 ° = 3.5 hours

To find the change in x°   per hour; we have;

x°            = 1 hour

The expression used to find the change in temperature per hour is Algebraic expression

From above if we cross multiply ; we have;

(- 12.25° × 1 hour) = (x° × 3.5 hour)

Divide both sides by 3.5 hours; we have:

\dfrac{-12.25^0*1 }{3.5}=\dfrac{ x^0 *3.5}{3.5}

x° =  - 3.5

x° = - 3\dfrac{1}{2}

Thus per hour; the temperature falls at the rate of - 3\dfrac{1}{2}^0

If ABC = DEC,<br> B= 44º and E= 4x<br> x= [?]
kolezko [41]

Value of x is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find x when ΔABC ≅ ΔDEC.

When these two triangles are congruent, their corresponding angles and sides will be equal.

⇒ ∠B = ∠E

⇒ 44° = 4x

∴ x = 44/4 = 11
