Answer: Sally will catch up with Jane after 50 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed of Jane of biking = 12 mph

After 10 minutes,

Speed of Sally of biking = 15 mph

Let the distance be 'x'.

According to question, our required equation becomes,

\dfrac{x}{12}-\dfrac{x}{15}=\dfrac{10}{60}\\\\\dfrac{5x-4x}{60}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\dfrac{1x}{60}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\x=10\ miles

Thus, total distance would be 10 miles.

So, the time taken by Sally to catch up with Jane is given by

\dfrac{10}{12}=\dfrac{5}{6}\times 60=50\ minutes

Hence, Sally will catch up with Jane after 50 minutes.

Answer:

10/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

12x=15x-10

12x-15x=15x-10-15x

-3x=-10

-3x/-3=-10/-3

x=10/3

The equation 3x + 2 = 29 is modeled below.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Subtract 2 from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember to do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

> Also, note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other side of the equation.

First step is to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

3x + 2 (-2) = 29 (-2)

3x = 29 - 2

3x = 27

The second step is to divide 3 from both sides of the equation:

(3x)/3 = (27)/3

x = 27/3

x = 9

Please help me find X

Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of distances from the intersection of secants to the near and far intersections with the circle are the same. For a tangent, the near and far points of intersection with the circle are the same. This relation tells us ...

  (2√3)(2√3) = x(x +4)

  12 = x² +4x

  16 = x² +4x +4 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square

  4² = (x +2)² . . . . . . . . write as squares

  4 = x +2 . . . . . . . . . . positive square root

  2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you believe x to be an integer, you can look for factors of 12 that differ by 4.

  12 = 1×12 = 2×6 = 3×4

The factors 2 and 6 differ by 4, so x=2 and x+4=6.
