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!!

Answer:

SA = 615.4 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area (SA) of a sphere is calculated as

SA = 4πr² ← r is the radius

Here diameter = 14, thus r = 14 ÷ 2 = 7, then

SA = 4π × 7² = 4π × 49 = 196π = 196 × 3.14 ≈ 615.4 yd²

A local bakery has a daily operating cost of $1800 plus a cost of $10 per cake
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. 15c > 1,800 + 10c

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit=Total revenue - total cost

Profit is achieved:

when total revenue is greater than total cost

TR>TC

Or

When total cost is less than total revenue

TC<TR

From the question

Total cost=1800+10c

Total revenue=15c

Profit=TR>TC or TC<TR

15c>1800+10c

Or

1800+10c<15c

Option B. 15c > 1,800 + 10c satisfies the condition that Profit=TR>TC

mariarad [96]

Answer:

One-sample Z-test

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sample size is greater than 30, assuming the data is a simple random sample, and that the data has a normal distribution, the sociologist should conduct a one-sample z-test to calculate the p-value.
