First, determine the distance of the motorcycle and the car from the start point. The distance could be determined using
\boxed{d=v \times t}
d stands for distance, v stands for speed, t stands for time

The car
d = 48 × t
d = 48t

The motorcycle
d = 20 × t
d = 20t

At the end of t hours, the car is 48t miles (east) from the start point and the motorcycle is 20t miles (north) from the start point.

Second, determine the distance between 48t miles at east and 20t miles at north using pythagoras
distance = \sqrt{(48t)^{2}+(20t)^{2}}
distance = \sqrt{2304t^{2}+400t^{2}}
distance = \sqrt{2704t^{2}}
distance = 52t

The expression for their distance apart at the end of t hours is 52t

FOR 15 POINTS I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST IF YOU ARE CORRECT! What is the solution to the system that is created by the equation y = 2
goblinko [34]

The solution point is (4,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of straight line passing through the points (0,0) and (4,2) is given by

⇒ 2y = x ............ (1)

And the other straight line is y = - x + 6 .............. (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, y = - 2y + 6

⇒ 3y = 6

⇒ y = 2

And from equation (1) we get, x = 2y = 4

Therefore, the solution point is (4,2). (Answer)

Pls help me with the inverse operation of this problem. Best answer gets brainliest
timurjin [86]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe we are solving for x. In that case, let us start by moving 1 to the other side.

\frac{4(x+3)}{5} = 8

Now, we want to get rid of that denominator of 5. Let us multiply both sides by 5:

4(x+3)=40

Now, we may divide both sides by 4 to get rid of the coefficiant:

x+3=10

When we subtract both sides by 3, we get

x=7

<em>I hope this helps! :)</em>

Softa [21]

Answer:

24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a ratio:

12 miles = 16 hours

-------------    ------------

18 miles =   x hours

cross multiply

12m * x = 16h * 18 m

solve for x

x=16h * 18m / 12m = 24 hours
