On a trip, Duke encounters some road construction that slows him down. While he is able to go 60 mph on the highway and 40 mph t

hrough cities, he can only go 20 mph past the construction. He spends one half the time on the highway as he does in construction, so the 380-mile trip takes 11 hours. How much of this time does he spend on the highway, in the city, and through road construction?

Answer:

Time taken by Duke on the highway = 3 hours

Time spent on the construction = 6 hours

Time spent in the city = 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed by which Duke travels a distance on highway d_1 = 60 mph

Let the time taken to travel on highway = t_1 hours

Distance traveled = 60t_1 miles

Speed in the city = 40 mph

Let the time taken = t_2 hours

Distance traveled in the city = 40t_2 miles

Speed on the construction = 20 mph

Let the time spend on the construction = t_3 hours

Distance traveled on the construction = 20t_3 miles

Since, total distance covered = 380 miles

d_1+d_2+d_3=60t_1+40t_2+20t_3

He spends one half the time on the highway as he does on the construction,

t_3=2t_1

Total time spent in the trip = 11 hours

Therefore, t_1+t_2+t_3=11

t_1+t_2+2t_1=11

t_2=11-3t_1

From equation (1),

60t_1+40(11-3t_1)+20(2t_1)=380

60t_1-120t_1+40t_1+440=380

440-20t_1=380

20t_1=440-380

t_1=\frac{60}{20}

t_1=3 hours

t_2=11-3t_1=2 hours

t_3=2t_1=6 hours

Therefore, time taken by Duke on the highway = 3 hours

Time spent on the construction = 6 hours

Time spent in the city = 2 hours

Evaluate -6(x-2y) when x= -3 and y= -5<br> a. -42<br> b. 80<br> c. -80<br> d. -16
Vinil7 [7]
Simply substitute x for -3 and y for -5, creating the equation shown below:
     
     -6 (-3 - 2(-5) )
Now that you have your values set up, now you can do the math by starting off with Multiplying -2 by -5, which will get you 10. 

Now that you have the parenthesis simplified in the parenthesis, you can use the distributive property by multiplying all the numbers with -6, like so:
-6(-3+10)= 18 - 60, which simplifies to -42, in which (A) is your answer.

Pls help picture provided
Zanzabum

Answer: second option

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Then, to write the quadratic equation given in the problem in standard form, you must substract 1 from both sides of the equation. Then you have:

2x^2+5x-1=0

Given the quadratic equation above, to find the value of b^2-4ac  you must substitute:

a=2; b=5 and c=-1 into b^2-4ac

Thenrefore, you obtain the following result:

5^2-4(2)(-1)=33
