Carlos can ride his bike 30 km in 2 hours. At the same rate, how far can he ride in 7 hours?

lozanna [386]

He can ride his bike 105 km. 30/2 is 15. 15*7 is 105.

6(m-1) = 3(3m + 2) Show all work

nordsb [41]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf m = -4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \: for \: m: \\ \sf \implies 6 (m - 1) = 3 (3 m + 2) \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: left \: hand \: side: \\ \sf \implies 6 m - 6 = 3 (3 m + 2) \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: right \: hand \: side: \\ \sf \implies 6 m - 6 = 9 m + 6 \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: 9 m \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies (6 m - 9 m) - 6 = (9 m - 9 m) + 6 \\ \\ \sf 6 m - 9 m = -3 m: \\ \sf \implies -3 m - 6 = (9 m - 9 m) + 6 \\ \\ \sf 9 m - 9 m = 0: \\ \sf \implies -3 m - 6 = 6 \\ \\ \sf Add \: 6 \: to \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies (6 - 6) - 3 m = 6 + 6 \\ \\ \sf 6 - 6 = 0: \\ \sf \implies -3 m = 6 + 6 \\ \\ \sf 6 + 6 = 12: \\ \sf \implies -3 m = 12 \\ \\ \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: -3 m = 12 \: by \: -3: \\ \sf \implies \frac{ - 3m}{ - 3} = \frac{12}{ - 3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{ - 3}{ - 3} = 1: \\ \sf \implies m = \frac{12}{ - 3} \\ \\ \sf - \frac{12}{3} = - 4 : \\ \sf \implies m = - 4$

Premier Bank is planning to have a new building constructed. They would like the length of the building to be 40 feet longer tha

MaRussiya [10]

Let L, W, F, H, P represent, respectively, the length, width, number of floors, height, and perimeter of the building. Here are some equations that model the given information.

L = W + 40
H = 12×F
foundation cost = 10×L×W
cost of floors = 35000×F
total cost = foundation cost + cost of floors
total cost = 1,180,000
P = 2×(L+W)
P = 3×H

We can rewrite these into a system of equations involving L, W, F.

Let's look first at the relation between the perimeter and height. The two versions of perimeter are equal to each other, so we have (after substituting for H) ...

... 3H = 2(L+W)

... 3(12F) = 2((W +40) +W) . . . . substitute for H and L

... 36F = 4W +80 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

... 9F = W +20 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Now, we can look at the cost equations.

... 1180000 = 35000F + 10W(W+40) . . . . . substitute for the various cost terms and for L

... 118000 = 3500F +W² +40W . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

The two simplified equations in W and F are ...

9F = W +20
3500F = 118000 -40W -W²

You can solve the first for F and substitute for F in the second. Then you have a quadratic equation in W that can be solved by the usual methods. (Likely, the quadratic formula would be the best choice.) Here, we have elected to let a graphing calculator show the two solutions. One solution has negative dimensions, so is clearly infeasible.

There is one (nearly feasible) solution:

... W ≈ 180.788

... F ≈ 22.31

There is no combination of floor dimensions and integral numbers of floors that will match <em>all</em> of the problem requirements.
