Answer: The time at which the distance between the two is 150 miles is 1.3 hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Sketch the problem as shown in the attached image.

The problem can be solved using Pythagoras theorem since the sketch is a right angled triangle.

It follows the equation x² + y² = 15².

The distance covered by Greg is given by <em>x mi</em>, and that of Erin is given by <em>y mi</em>.

Step 2: To derive the distance covered by Erin and Greg, we use the formula <em>Speed = distance ÷ time.</em>

Which by cross-multiplying gives <em>distance = speed × time</em>.

Let time taken to cover the distance be <em>t h</em>.

Given that Speed of Erin is 9 mph and that of Greg is 7 mph.

Hence, distance covered by Greg, x = 7 × t = 7t.

Distance covered by Erin, y = 9 × t = 9t.

Step 3: Insert the terms x and y into the Pythagoras equation x² + y² = 15² and solve for <em>time t.</em>

(7t)² + (9t)² = 15²

49t² + 81t² = 225

(49 + 81)t² = 225

      t² = 225/(49 + 81)

      t² = 225/130

      t² = 1.730769231

       t = √1.730769231

       t = 1.315587029

t = 1.3hr

Hence the time at which the distance between the two is 150 miles is 1.3 hr.

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

We need to find which expressions are equivalent to 6(c+6), 6c+6 or neither.

6c+12: We extract the greatest common factor which is 6. Remember, when we extract a GCM, we divide each term by it.

6c+12=+(c+2)

Therefore, this expression is equivalent to neither of the given expressions.

2(3c+3): We just need to apply the distributive property.

2(3c+3)=6c+6

Therefore, this expression is equivalen to 6c+6.

We use the same process to the other expressions.

(6c)+(6\times 6)=6c+36=6(c+6)

3c+6+3c=6c+6

6c+36=6(c+6)

(6+c)+(6+6)=c+18, equivalent to neither.
