The rate of Car A is x
The rate of Car B is x - 5

They travel the same distance. So we can make an equation:

4(x) = 4.5(x-5)

Solve for x.

4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
4x = 4.5x - 22.5

Subtract 4.5x on both sides

-0.5x = -22.5

Divide by -0.5 on both sides
x = 45

But we want the speed of Car B which is x - 5

So Car B's speed is 45 - 5 = 40

Your answer is 40

Find the area of the figure 3m 6m 8m<br> A.48m<br> B.36m<br> C.24m<br> D.60m
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

B. 36 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the areas of the rectangle and triangle. Then, subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle to get the area of only the figure.

rectangle A = 8(6) = 48 square meters

triangle A = 1/2(8)(3) = 12 square meters

48 - 12 = 36 square meters

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes
grigory [225]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two points (2,7) and (4,-1).  In order to determine the linear equation, we need to find the slope and the y-intercept. First, find the slope <em>m.</em> Let (2,7) be x1 and y1, and let (4,-1) be x2 and y2:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{-1-7}{4-2}=-8/2=-4

Thus, the slope is -4.

Now, to find the y-intercept, we can use the point-slope form. Recall that the point slope form is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where (x1, y1) is a coordinate pair and m is the slope.

Use either of the two coordinate pair. I'm going to use (2,7). Substitute them for x1 and y1, respectively:

y-(7)=-4(x-(2))\\y-7=-4x+8\\y=-4x+15

This is also slope-intercept form. The answer is A.
