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

Write the sentence as an inequality. The cost of a ticket t will be no more than $52.
NeX [460]

Answer:

t is less than or equal to $52, or t <= $52

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can't have more than $52, then use less than symbol (<). The sentence doesn't state that a ticket shouldn't cost $52, so it's safe to assume that you can have exactly $52.

Fed [463]

Answer:

\text{B. }26}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since \overline{PN} and \overline{PQ} are equal, we can set them equal to each other:

7x+5=10x-4,\\9=3x,\\x=3

Substitute x=3 to solve for \overline{PQ}:

\overline{PQ}=10(3)-4=\boxed{\text{B. }26}}

"if f(x)=x+1/x then the set of values for which f increases is"
Anettt [7]
The solution for this problem would be:
f'(x) = 1 - 1/x^2 = (x^2 - 1)/x^2 
is positive where |x| > 1 
hence (-inf, -1) and (1, inf) are the regions in which f' is positive and therefore f is increasing.
Therefore, the answer is (-infinity,-1] U [1,infinity).
