Answer: in 2/5 hours they will be at the same distance from their apartment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data that we have is:

Alan works 6 miles away from the apartment, and his speed is 7 miles per hour.

Soren works 8 miles away from the apartment, and his speed is 12 miles per hour.

We can calculate the distance as a function of time by the equation.

D =  initial distance - speed*t

where t is the number of hours; so we have that the equation for Allan is:

Da = 6 mi - 7 mi/h*t

The equation for Soren is:

Ds = 8mi - 12mi/h*t

They will be at the same distance to the apartment when Da = Ds, so we must have that:

6mi - 7mi/h*t = 8mi -12mi/h*t

we need to solve it for t.

(12mi/h - 7mi/h)*t = 8mi - 6mi  

5mi/h*t = 2mi

t = (2/5)h

Let the distance remaining after time t be x miles.

Distance traveled by Alan = (6-x) miles
Distance traveled by Soren = (8-x) miles

Time takes by the two is the same. Therefore,
(8-x)/12 = (6-x)/7 => 7(8-x) = 12(6-x) => 56-7x = 72-12x => 12x-7x = 72 -56 => 5x= 16 => x = 16/5 = 3.2 miles.

And then, time taken (t) = (8-3.2)/12 = (6-3.2)/7 = 0.4 hours

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

43.20

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the sales tax

tax = price * tax rate

tax = 40 * 8%

     = 40*.08

      =3.2

We final cost is the price plus the sales tax

final cost = price + tax

                = 40+3.2

                = 43.20

The area of a baseball field bounded by home plate, first base, second base, and third base is a square. If a player at first ba
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

ta side from one base to next has  length of x. so we know each side has length x and  the shape they make is a square. This means we are only searching for the diagonal of a square. remember that a diagonal forms and isoscoles right triangle with the 2 sides being equal and the diagonal as the hypotenuse. Using  pythagoream theorem we can say

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 all side lengths are x so we can put x in for a and b  to get

x^2 + x^2 = c^2

2x^2 = c^2

c = x * squareroot(2)

so if the length between bases is 90 ft

c = 90 ft * squareroot(2)

c = 127.28 ft
