On a particular day, the wind added 4 miles per hour to Alfonso’s rate when he was cycling with the wind and subtracted 4 miles

per hour from his rate on his return trip. Alfonso found that in the same amount of time he could cycle 68 miles with the wind, he could go only 30 miles against the wind. What is his normal bicycling speed with no wind?

d = r · t ⇒ t = d/r

going

t = 54/(r + 4)

coming

t = 30/(r - 4)

54/(r + 4) = 30/(r - 4) times are equal

54(r - 4) = 30(r + 4) product means/extremes

54r - 216 = 30r + 120 distribute

24r - 216 = 120 subtract 30r from both sides

24r = 336 add 216 to both sides

r = 14 divide both sides by 24

Alfonso bikes at 24 mph.

Can someone please help me factor and write the equations for these two problems ?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Asymptotes 3

g(x) = \frac{3x}{x^2-3x-10}

Factors of denominator will be,

x² - 3x - 10 = x² - 5x + 2x - 10

                 = x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5)

                 = (x + 2)(x - 5)

Therefore, factored form of g(x) will be,

g(x) = \frac{3x}{(x + 2)(x - 5)}

Asymptotes 4

h(x) = \frac{(x-5)}{x^{2} + 14x + 40}

      = \frac{x-5}{x^{2}+10x+4x+40}

      = \frac{x-5}{x(x+10)+4(x+10)}

      = \frac{x-5}{(x+10)(x+4)}

Need help asap!!!!!!​
Mrac [35]

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation: first you should write it out like it is telling you. put a line and EG is the line and f is in the middle of the two looks kinda like this  E         F          G but they are on a line EG= 25 that means the whole thing equals 25. EF= 2x-6 and FG= 4x+7. when you plug that in it should look like this 25=2x-6+4x+7 then solve.

the parabola y=x^2 is shifted up by 2 units and to the right by 3 units. what is the equation of the new porabola
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Up 2 units = y shifted up by 2:
y = x^2 + 2
to the right 3 units = x shifted right (+) by 3:
y + 3 = x^2 +2
new equation:
y = x^2 - 1

13. Mis the midpoint of PR, PM = 2x + 5, and MR = 4x – 7. Solve for x and find PR.
enyata [817]

Add 2x + 5 and 4x - 7

Then you isolate the variable or “get rid of” the numbers that re stopping you from getting “x”.

By doing the inverse operation.

If you add ___ you subtract ____ it form itself

If you subtract ___ you add ____ To itself.

So you Cancel out by getting rid of the other numbers.

Same thing with multiplying and dividing.

If you multiply ____ you divide___ but don’t divide “x”

Only the integer.

If you divide _____ you multiply ____ it

I have already tryed but how in the world do i solve 2
trapecia [35]
Alright, let's factor this to get the answer.
3k^2-10k+7
To find the factors, we want to think "What will add up to -10, and multiply to (+)7?"
Because the leading coefficient is 3, we know that we can take one factor of 7 and multiply it by 3.
Thus, this factors to
(3k-7)(k-1)
(if you FOIL it it should come out to be the original equation)

From this, set both of those [(3k-7) and (k-1)] equal to zero and solve
3k-7=0
3k=7
/3
k=7/3
or
k=1
