First of all, if you are traveling more, then you will have to take more time to get there. So since the answer A is less than the original number 50 you can rule that choice out. Now to solve, you will put 50 over 55 such as this 50/55. This represents miles/minutes. So next you will put 75/x since we are trying to solve for x (minutes). Now our problem looks like this 50/55 times 75/x. To solve the answer you will need to cross multiply. You will multiply 75 and 55 together to get 4,125. (This will be your numerator, or top number) Next you will multiply 50 and x, this gives you 50. (This will be your denominator, or bottom number. Now you have 4,125/50. Divide your two numbers and you get 82.5! The answer is D. 82.5! Hope I helped!

Write the first 6 terms of the arithmetic sequence whose first term is 8 and has a common difference of 2

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: The first 6 terms are = 8, 10, 12,14,16,18

Step-by-step explanation:

The NTH term of an Arithmetic Sequence is given as

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d

where a1 = First term given as 8 and

d= common difference given as 2

Therefore We have that

the first term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d = 8+(1-1) 2

a1= 8

second term=

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a2= 8 + (2-1) 2

= 8+ 2(1) = 10

3rd term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a3= 8 + (3-1) 2

= 8+ 2(2)= 8 + 4=12

4th term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a4= 8 + (4-1) 2

= 8+ 2(3)= 8+6=14

5th term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a5= 8 + (5-1) 2

= 8+ 2(4)=8+ 8=16

6th term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a6= 8 + (6-1) 2

= 8+ 2(5)=8 +10 =18

what is the equation, in slope- intercept form, of the line that contains the points (-3,4) and (5,7)

gavmur [86]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + $\frac{41}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

To calculate the slope use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 7)

m = $\frac{7-4}{5+3}$ = $\frac{3}{8}$ , hence

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (5, 7 ), then

7 = $\frac{15}{8}$ + c ⇒ c = 7 - $\frac{15}{8}$ = $\frac{41}{8}$

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + $\frac{41}{8}$ ← equation in slope-intercept form

A paper air plane looking polygon with sides of 5 5 and 8 what is the area

VARVARA [1.3K]

If it has 3 sides then it's a triangle.
Using the formula $A= \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$
where $s= \frac{a+b+c}{2}$
and a=5 b=5 c=8

∴ $s= \frac{5+5+8}{2} =9$
$area= \sqrt{9(9-5)(9-5)(9-8)}$
$area= \sqrt{144} = 12units^{2}$
