Let x mph be the speed for the 110 miles trip. Then for 80 miles,
Speed = (x-20) mph

Time, t = Distance/Speed
On 110 miles, t1 = 110/x hrs
On 80 miles, t2 = 80/(x-20) hrs

Total time = 4 hrs = t1+t2 = 110/x + 80/(x-20)

Solving for x;
4 = [110(x-20) + 80(x)]/x(x-20)
4(x)(x-20) = 110x -2200 + 80x
4x^2 - 80x = 110x - 2200 + 80x
4x^2 -80x -110x  - 80x +2200 = 0
4x^2 -270x +2200 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation;
x = [-(-270)+/- Sqrt ((-270)^2 -4(4)(2200)]/2*4 = 33.75+/- 24.27 = 9.48 mph or 58.02 mph

Ignore the value smaller than 20 as this would yield a negative value of second speed which is not practical.

Therefore, speed in the first 110 miles is 58.02 mph

A bag with 2 1/2 quarts of peanuts can make 2 1/6 jars of peanut butter. How many
diamong [38]

Answer:

You will need 3 6/13 quarts of peanuts to make 3 jars of peanuts butter

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this answering seamless, we make the mixed fractions into improper fractions

Hence 2 1/2 becomes 5/2

while 2 1/6 becomes 13/6

Here we are told that a bag with 5/2 quarts of peanuts can make 13/6 jars of peanuts butter

Hence, x quarts of peanuts will make 3 jars of peanuts butter

To get the value of x, what we simply need to do is to cross multiply.

Thus, we have

5/2 - 13/6

x - 3

3 * 5/2 = 13/6 * x

15/2 = 13x/6

26x = 90

x = 90/26

x = 45/13

x = 3 6/13

Three consecutive odd intergers have a sum of 27. find the integers
Misha Larkins [42]
Solve for x:
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27
3x + 6 = 27
3x = 27 - 6
3x = 21
3x / 3 = 21 / 3
x = 7
The integers:
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27
7 + (7 + 2) + (7 + 4) = 27
7 + 9 + 11 = 27
27 = 27

The integers are 7, 9 , 11

If f(x) = 5x-3, which expression represents its inverse function?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Pretty sure it's C

Step-by-step explanation:

For inverse functions, I do the opposite operation

the only logical inverse function I see working in this expression would be C

divide the 5 from 5x and add the 3

Also, subtract the f(x) on both sides to get the "- y"

so, you get : 5/x + 3 = - y (f(x) is just "y")
