Answer: Downhill:10mph Uphill:5mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for Dennis’s downhill speed.
Let
r=
Dennis’s downhill speed.
His uphill speed is
5
miles per hour slower.
Let
r−5=
Dennis’s uphill speed.
Enter the rates into the chart. The distance is the same in both directions,
20
miles.
Since
D=rt
, we solve for
t
and get
t=
D
r
.
We divide the distance by the rate in each row and place the expression in the time column.

and his uphill speed cannot be negative. So, Dennis's downhill speed is
10
mph and his uphill speed is
10−5=5
mph.
Check. Is
10
mph a reasonable speed for biking downhill? Yes.

The question is a little vague but I believe the answer would be 16. 16 divided in half is 8. And that is 8 less than 16. < Not the answer for this question.
I didn't understand the question until Maria answered, she is completely right! Sorry for the misunderstanding.
In step one, you are supposed to add 25 to both sides, because if you just subtract, it would be -5x-50=53
Answer:
The value to the given expression is 8
Therefore ![\left[\frac{(10^4)(5^2)}{(10^3)(5^3)}\right]^3=8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cfrac%7B%2810%5E4%29%285%5E2%29%7D%7B%2810%5E3%29%285%5E3%29%7D%5Cright%5D%5E3%3D8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is (StartFraction (10 Superscript 4 Baseline) (5 squared) Over (10 cubed) (5 cubed)) cubed
Given expression can be written as below
![\left[\frac{(10^4)(5^2)}{(10^3)(5^3)}\right]^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cfrac%7B%2810%5E4%29%285%5E2%29%7D%7B%2810%5E3%29%285%5E3%29%7D%5Cright%5D%5E3)
To find the value of the given expression:
![\left[\frac{(10^4)(5^2)}{(10^3)(5^3)}\right]^3=\frac{((10^4)(5^2))^3}{((10^3)(5^3))^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cfrac%7B%2810%5E4%29%285%5E2%29%7D%7B%2810%5E3%29%285%5E3%29%7D%5Cright%5D%5E3%3D%5Cfrac%7B%28%2810%5E4%29%285%5E2%29%29%5E3%7D%7B%28%2810%5E3%29%285%5E3%29%29%5E3%7D)

Therefore ![\left[\frac{(10^4)(5^2)}{(10^3)(5^3)}\right]^3=8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cfrac%7B%2810%5E4%29%285%5E2%29%7D%7B%2810%5E3%29%285%5E3%29%7D%5Cright%5D%5E3%3D8)
Therefore the value to the given expression is 8
Okay, so total dogs are 49.
So we know if x=large dogs and y=small dogs, then x+y=49.
Next we are told that there are 36 MORE small dogs than large dogs. We can take that more meaning addition, and x being our value for large dogs. So y=x+36.
After that we now know what value we can plug in for y. So x+x+36=49.
We can then simplify it to 2x+36=49.
Subtracting the 36 from both sides, leaves you with 2x=13.
Followed by dividing both sides by 2, gives you x=6.5. Or 6.5 large dogs.
Now we can plug this into our formula for the small dogs (y=x+36) to give us y=6.5+36, which simplifies to y=42.5. Or 42.5 small dogs. Which is our answer.
We can double check it by adding the small and large dogs together, 6.5+42.5, which gives us 49, our total entries.
