Answer: the distance traveled on the return trip is 70 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the distance travelled along the side streets.

Let t represent the time spent travelling along the side street

Traveling the side streets, she avaraged 20 mph.

Distance = speed × time

Therefore, distance travelled along the side streets is

d = 40t

On the return trip, Rob's truck took the freeway, averaging 50 mph. The freeway distance is 2 miles less than the distance on the side streets and they saved 24 minutes(24/60 = 0.4 hours). It means that the distance travelled on the return trip is (d - 2) miles and the time spent is

(t - 0.4) hours. Therefore

d - 2 = 50(t - 0.4)

d - 2 = 50t - 20 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting d = 40t into equation 1, it becomes

40t - 2 = 50t - 20

50t - 40t = - 2 + 20

10t = 18

t = 18/10 = 1.8

d = 40t = 40 × 1.8

d = 72

The distance on the return trip is

72 - 2 = 70 miles.

M5-3/2x less than or equal to 1/3
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

by rearranging the initial inequality you’ll get

\frac{3}{2} x\leq 5-\frac{1}{3}

which equals

\frac{3}{2} x\leq\frac{14}{3}

then multiply both sides by 2/3

x\leq \frac{28}{9}

This is a parabola that opens downward.
Remember that the axis of symmetry is located at x=-b/(2a).
So the vertex is at (3,-1)
So functions slope is positive or increasing on (-co, 3] and decreasing on [3,co).
