Two cyclists leave a city at the same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes at 3 mph faster

than the eastbound cyclist. If after 6 hours they are 162 miles apart, how fast is each cyclist riding?
If you can solve this, can you please show your work and explain what I need to plug in where, and what equation I need to use? This is so confusing.

We will say that the eastbound cyclist is going x mph. This means that the westbound cyclist is going x+3 mph.
They are both cycling for 6 hours and end up 162 miles apart.
Distance=rate*time
6x+6(x+3)=162
6x+6x+18+162
12x=144
x=12
So, the eastbound cyclist is going 12 mph.
Remember the westbound cyclist is going 3 mph faster, so s/he is going 15 mph.
Hope this helps!!

The area of a square is 225cm². On the map drawn to scale 1 : 3 find the area of the square​
Olin [163]

Answer:

25 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Area if a square = length²

225 =  length²

length = √225

length = 15

if the map is drawn to scale of 1 : 3

the length on the map = 15/3 = 5

area of the square 5 x 5 = 25

Can someone solve this with steps cause idk how to solve the radicals
IceJOKER [234]
\bf 343^{\frac{2}{3}}+36^{\frac{1}{2}}-256^{\frac{3}{4}}\qquad \begin{cases}
343=7\cdot 7\cdot 7\\
\qquad 7^3\\
36=6\cdot 6\\
\qquad 6^2\\
256=4\cdot 4\cdot 4\cdot 4\\
\qquad 4^4
\end{cases}\\\\\\ (7^3)^{\frac{2}{3}}+(6^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}-(4^4)^{\frac{3}{4}}
\\\\\\
\sqrt[3]{(7^3)^2}+\sqrt[2]{(6^2)^1}-\sqrt[4]{(4^4)^3}\implies \sqrt[3]{(7^2)^3}+\sqrt[2]{(6^1)^2}-\sqrt[4]{(4^3)^4}
\\\\\\
7^2+6-4^3\implies 49+6-64\implies -9


to see what you can take out of the radical, you can always do a quick "prime factoring" of the values, that way you can break it in factors to see who is what.

I the cafeteria there are 7 teachers 48 girls and 45 boys. What is the probability that a person chosen at random from the cafet
mr Goodwill [35]

Total people in the cafeteria = 7 + 48 + 45 = 100

There are 45 boys.

The probability would be the number of boys over the total number of people:

45/100, which simplifies to 9/20

If x^(2) - 2 = 2^(2/3) + 2(-2/3) prove that x = 2^(1/3)+2^(-1/3)
dusya [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2 = 2^(2/3) + 2^(-2/3)

x² = 2^(2/3) + 2 + 2^(-2/3)

x² = (2^(1/3))² + 2 × 2^(1/3) × 2^(-1/3) +

(2^(-1/3))² (It is in the form of a²+2ab+b²)

x² = (2^(1/3) + 2^(-1/3))²

x = 2^(1/3) + 2^(-1/3)
