Answer: b. 51 - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, Easha has 3 less than 5 times the number of quarters (I) that Isabelle has.
Here I is the number of quarters that Isabelle has.
Then, as per given,
Number of quarters Easha has = 5 ( number of quarters that Isabelle has) -3
= 5I-3
Hence, the expression shows the number of quarters Easha has is "5I-3"
So the correct option is b.
Answer:
I think the answer for the first one is 3 I am not sure about the second one
Answer:
Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:
time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)
time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x
total time = time uphill + time summit
3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x
3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]
3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280
3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280
3x² - 113*x + 280 = 0
x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph
x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph
Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.
Kelly? Im not sure actually... Im going with Kelly but im probably wrong
