Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

the rate going south is 13, the rate going east is 10

it took a total amount of 6hours and 72miles for the whole travel

so.. if going say hmmm South, it covered a distance of "d", then going East it covered a distance of the slack from 72 and "d", it covered "72 - d" miles

so, if going South it took "t" hours, then going East it took the slack from 6 and "t", or "6 - t" hours

thus      \bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
South&d&13&t\\
East&72-d&10&6-t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=13t\\
72-d=10(6-t)\\
----------\\
72-\boxed{13t}=10(6-t)
\end{cases}

solve for "t"

so, it travelled East for 6-t hours

Find the value of the variable plz help
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

8y + 36 = 14y -24                Subtract 36 to both sides

8y = 14y - 24 - 36               Combine

8y = 14y - 60                       Subtract 14y from both sides

8y - 14y = - 60

-6y = -60                             Divide by - 6

-6y/-6 = -60/-6

y = 10

===========================

x +48 = 64                        Subtract 48 from both sides

x +48 - 48 = 64-16

x = 16

A point in the figure is selected at random. Find the probability that the point will be in the part that is NOT shaded.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

About 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a point on the un-shaded region will be given by;

Area of the shaded region/total area

Considering that the circles are of the same size, then the length of the square is 2d

Area of the square = 4d²

Area of the shaded = (4d² -4π(d/2)²

                                = 4d² -πd², but π = 22/7

                                = 6/7d²

Probability = (6/7d² ÷ 4d²) × 100%

                  = (6/28 d²) × 100%

                  = 21.42 %

Therefore; the answer is about 20%
