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

For a Brainlist !!!!!!!
UNO [17]

y=-7x+2

m=-7, so that's a negative slope.

b=2, so the y-intercept is (0,2).  That's a postiive y-intercept.

Solve 0=-7x+2 to find the x-intercept.

     7x=2

       x=2/7

The x-intercept is (2/7,0), so that's a positive x-intercept.

Show Graph with the solution for 2x+3&gt;-9
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

I can't graph on this but x > -6

To graph you should draw a vertical (up and down) dotted line, and shade the graph to the right of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3>-9    Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality.

2x> -12      Divide both sides by 2

x> -6
