This is the concept of relative speed; We are required to calculate the speed of the car and the bicycle.
Distance between the car and Bicycle=374 miles
Time they met=5.5 hr
Speed traveled by bicycle=x
Speed traveled by car=x+33.4334
Relative speed=x+(x+33.4334)=(2x+33.4334) mph
Distance=speed*time
374=(2x+33.4334)*5.5
374=11x+183.8837
collecting like term we get:
374-183.8837=11x
11x=190.1163
thus;
x=(190.1163)/(11)
x=17.2833 mph
thus the speed of the bicycle was x=17.2833 mph
The speed of the car was (x+33.4334)=(17.2833+33.4334)=50.7167 mph

The Bengals begin with a possession on their own 27-yard line. Four plays result in the following: gain of 6, loss of 12, a gain
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The final position of the ball is on the 16 yard line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The final position of the ball after the fourth play is given by the initial position, in this case the 27-yard line, followed by a succession of sums and subtractions depending on the outcome of each play. For gains we sum and for losses we subtract. So we have:

final position = 27 + 6 - 12 + 2 -7

final position = 27 - 11

final position = 16

The final position of the ball is on the 16 yard line.

Perform the operation.<br> (-x^2 – 1) – (-2x^2 – 4)
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Okay!

Step-by-step explanation:

I have simplified the operation, and I got x^2 + 3.

If you wanted me to evaluate, the answer is still  x^2 + 3.

If you wanted me to subtract then the answer is again,  x^2 + 3.

Basically the answer is  x^2 + 3.

Have a good day!
