The thing you have to figure out about this is the distance for each person and the time it takes for the biker to meet the runner.  The rates we are told.  The formula is distance = rate times time.  Let's do that for the runner first.  His rate is 6 so the formula so far is d = 6t.  Now let's work on the time.  If the biker left an hour later than the runner, then the runner has been running an hour more than the biker.  Therefore, the runner's time is t + 1.  Hold off on the distance part til we do for the biker what we just did for the runner.  The biker's rate is 14, and we already decided that his time is t.  His equation is d = 14t.  Now at the exact moment the biker meets the runner their distances are the same.  So if the equation for the runner is d = 6t + 6 and the equation for the biker is d = 14t and their distances are the same, by the transitive property, their rates and times are the same as well, meaning we set them equal to each other and solve for t.  6t + 6 = 14t.  6 = 8t and t = 3/4.  This means that it took 45 minutes for the biker to meet the runner.

Reduce to the simplest form. -9/6 + (-3/5)
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

-\frac{21}{10} or -2.1 (they're the same)

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Simplify: -\frac{9}{6} + (-\frac{3}{5}) = -\frac{9}{6} - \frac{3}{5}  
  2. Find a common denominator. The LCM of 6 and 5 is 30, so multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same thing: 6 × 5 = 30, -9 × 5 = -45, 5 × 6 = 30, 3 × 6 = 18
  3. Write the new fractions: -\frac{45}{30} - \frac{18}{30}  
  4. Subtract: -45/30 - 18/30 = -\frac{63}{30} = -\frac{21}{10}

I hope this helps!

Answer:

C)28in

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the area of this face, we will divide it into 3 sections.

Area of the 1st section:

Given:

l=4in

w=2in

Formula:

a=l*w

Solution:

a=l*w

a=8in^2

Area of the 2nd section:

Given:

l=2in

w=2in

Formula:

a=l*w

Solution:

a=l*w

a=2in*2in

a=4in^2

Area of the 3rd section:

l=8in

w=2in

Formula:

a=l*w

Solution:

a=l*w

a=8in*2in

a=16in^2

a1+a2+a3=Area of the face

8in^2+4in^2+16in^2=28in^2

Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤

16. Factor<br> 40y3 - 625
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

prime factorization

40y³ = 2³×5y³

625 = 5⁴

Greatest common factor = 5

40y³ - 625 = 5(8y³ - 125)

Note that 8y³ - 125 is the difference of cubes.

8y³ - 125 = (2y)³ - 5³ = (2y-5)((2y)² + 2y·5 + 5²) = (2y-5)(4y² + 10y + 25)

40y³ - 625 = 5(2y-5)(4y² + 10y + 25)
