Answer:

From the information given

x is time for which she ran at speed of 6mi/h and

y is time for which she biked at speed of 12.5 mi/h

total time = 3.5 h

total distance = 34 mi

so

6x + 12.5y = 34 and

x + y = 3.5

x = 3.5 - y

6 ( 3.5 - y) + y = 34

6.5y = 13 which gives

y = 2 and this

x = 1.5

so suze ran for 1.5 h and biked for 2 h

CHECK

speed of run X time of run + speed of biking x time of biking must be = total distance covered

6 × 1.5 + 12.5 × 2 = 9 + 25= 34 mi

which is true

The amount of pounds of vegetable needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds is 3 3  / 8 pounds

<h3>How to solve fractions?</h3>

The amount of pounds of vegetable needed to make the stew exactly 10 pounds can be calculated as follows:

potatoes weight = 2 7 / 8 pounds = 23 / 8 pounds

green beans weight = 1 1 / 4 = 5 / 4 pounds

pepper weight = 2 1 / 2 = 5 / 2 pounds

Therefore,

weight needed = 10 - 23 / 8 - 5 / 4 - 5 / 2

weight needed = 80 - 23 - 10 - 20 / 8

weight needed = 80 - 53 / 8

weight needed = 27 / 8

weight needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds = 3 3  / 8 pounds

Use a table of function values to approximate an x-value in which the exponential function exceeds the polynomial function. In y
bekas [8.4K]
F(x) = 2^x; h(x) = x^3 + x + 8

Table


x      f(x) =  2^x             h(x) = x^3 + x + 8

0      2^0 = 1                0  + 0 + 8 = 8

1     2^1 = 2                 1^3 + 1 + 8 = 10

2      2^2 = 4                2^3 + 2 + 8 = 8 + 2 + 8 = 18

3      2^3 = 8                3^3  + 3 + 8 = 27 + 3 + 8 = 38

4      2^2 = 16              4^3 + 4 + 8 = 76

10    2^10 = 1024       10^3  +10 + 8 = 1018

 9      2^9 =   512        9^3 + 9 + 8 = 729 + 9 + 8 = 746

Calculate the length of segment RS¯ with midpoint, M, if RM=5x and MS=x+12.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

So M is the midpoint of RS lmbo

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have here are lengths of two equal segments, expressed as different algebraic expressions.

you just set those two expressions equal, and solve for x.  Then plug that x into EITHER of the two expressions, to get the equal lengths of RM & MS.
