Distance = rate times time.

Let the first cyclist's rate be r1 and the 2nd cyclist's rate be r2.

Let r2 = r1 + 10   (km per hour).

The total distance between them after 3 hours is 174 km; using the distance= rate times time formula, we also get:

r1(3 hrs) + r2(3 hrs) = 174 km
Then
r1(3 hrs) + (r1+10)(3hrs) = 174 km

Then 3r1 + 3r1 + 30 = 174 

6r1 = 144, and r1 = 24 km/hr.  Then r2 = (24 + 10) km/hr = 34 km/hr.

Solve 6(x + 1) &gt; 2x - 1<br><br> x &gt; -1/2<br> x &gt; -7/4<br> x &gt; 0
Bond [772]

Answer:

x > - \frac{7}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6(x + 1) > 2x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

6x + 6 > 2x - 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

4x + 6 > - 1 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

4x > - 7 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x > - \frac{7}{4}

A bag contains 28 blue marbles and 12 red marbles. If Milton removes two marbles without replacing them, what is the probability
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A: 14/65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of pulling a blue marble first, there are 28 blue marbles

Let B be the event of pulling a red marble second, there are 12 red marbles

There are 40 total marbles in the bag.

So

P(A) = 28/40

Since he pulls two marbles with out replacement, there is one less marble in the bag when he pulls the second marble, so there are only 39 marbles left, so

P(B) = 12/39

When calculating the probability of multiple events, you multiply their probabilities together, so we have

P(A then B) = (28/40)(12/39) = 336/1560

Now reduce the fraction...

112/520

28/130

14/65

If two lines don’t intersect, then is it parrell (( true or false ))
DiKsa [7]
The definition of parallel lines states that they don't intersect, so that would always be true. (In Euclidean geometry, anyway.)
