Given:
t A = 2.4 h
t B = 4 h
v A = 22 + v B

Solution:
Distance A and distance B is the same, distance could be defined using formula d = v × t
d A = d B
(v A × t A) = (v B × t B)

plug in the numbers
v A × 2.4 = v B × 4
(22 + vB) × 2.4 = 4 vB

remove the parenthesis using distributive property
(22 × 2.4) + (2.4 × vB) = 4vB
52.8 + 2.4vB = 4vB
add like terms
52.8 = 4vB - 2.4vB
52.8 = 1.6vB
52.8/1.6 = vB
vB = 33
the speed of car B is 33 mph

vA = 22 + vB
vA = 22 + 33
vA = 55
the speed of car A is 55 mph

Look online for the growth of the trunk of a tree. Estimate how much time does it take for a water oak to grow one inch in diame
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The trunk of a tree grows in two different ways, first in height and second in diameter.Usually tree grows one ring per year in diameter. So, counting the number of rings we can determine the age of a tree. Both height and diameter growth does not occur at the same rate. Tree grows more in height than in their diameter. Mature trees usually grows 1 inch in diameter every year.

Water oak gains 24 inches in height  every year and  1.5 inch growth in diameter annually, meaning if we divide 1.5 inches by 12 months we gets 0.125 inches growth monthly. So a water oak tree needs only 8 months to grow 1 inch in diameter.

How to solve systems of equations
Len [333]
You are given two equations, solve for one variable in one of the equations. Say you solved for x in the second equation. Then, plug in that value of x in the x of the first equation. Solve this (first) equation for y (as it should become apparent) and you'll get a number value. Plug in this numerical value of y into the y of the second equation. Solve for x in the second equation. And there you have it: (x, y)

What is the equation in point slope form of the line passing through (0,5) and (-2,11)
IRISSAK [1]

The equation of the line passing through (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is

\frac{x-x_1}{y-y_1} =\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}. Here

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} is the slope of the line.

Substituting numerical values, the equation of the line is

\frac{x-0}{y-5} =\frac{-2-0}{11-5} \\ \frac{x}{y-5} =-\frac{1}{3} \\ 3x=5-y\\ 3x+y=5

The equation of the line is 3x+y=5
