The college student took 13 courses of 3 credit hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total credits = 59

Total courses = 18

Let,

Number of 3 credit hour courses = x

Number of 4 credit hour courses = y

According to given statement;

x+y=18     Eqn 1

3x+4y=59   Eqn 2

We will eliminate y to find the number of 3 credit hour courses, therefore,

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(x+y=18)\\4x+4y=72\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(4x+4y)-(3x+4y)=72-59\\4x+4y-3x-4y=13\\x=13

The college student took 13 courses of 3 credit hours.

Find the simplest expression for the perimeter of the triangular roof truss.
REY [17]
Perimeter of triangle = all sides added up
3a + 4 + 2a - 7 + 9a + 11

now add like terms
3a + 2a + 9a = 5a + 9a = 14a

4 - 7 + 11
= -3 + 11 = 8

so we have  14a + 8
as our simplest expression

The table represents the distance covered by Emma over several hours on a recent Saturday bike ride. Becky takes the same route,
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky travels 0.5 miles per hour faster than Emma.

Emma's speed is 7.5 miles per hour. The slope of y = 8x, which is 8, is Becky's speed.

8 − 7.5 = 0.5 miles per hour faster

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation <br> 25x^2-30x+25=0
Reika [66]

Answer: x=\frac{3}{5}+i\frac{4}{5},\:x=\frac{3}{5}-i\frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

25x^2-30x+25=0

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-30\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-30\right)^2-4\cdot \:25\cdot \:25}}{2\cdot \:25}

\sqrt{\left(-30\right)^2-4\cdot \:25\cdot \:25}

=\sqrt{30^2-4\cdot \:25\cdot \:25}

=\sqrt{30^2-2500}

=i\sqrt{2500-30^2}

=40i

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-30\right)\pm \:40i}{2\cdot \:25}

x_1=\frac{-\left(-30\right)+40i}{2\cdot \:25},\:x_2=\frac{-\left(-30\right)-40i}{2\cdot \:25}

x=\frac{3}{5}+i\frac{4}{5},\:x=\frac{3}{5}-i\frac{4}{5}
