Mr Smith's art class took a bus trip to an art museum. The bus averaged 65 miles per hour on the highway and 25 miles per hour i

n the city. The art museum is 375 hours away for the school and it took the class 7 hours to get there. Use Cramer's rule to find out how many hours the bus was on the highway and how many hours it was driving in the city.

Let x be the distance traveled on the highway and y the distance traveled in the city, so:
\left \{ {{x+y=375} \atop { \frac{1}{65}x+ \frac{1}{25}y =7}} \right.
 
Now, the system of equations in matrix form will be:
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&\\ \frac{1}{65} & \frac{1}{25} &\end{array}\right]   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&\\y&\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}375&\\7&\end{array}\right]

Next, we are going to find the determinant:
D=  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\ \frac{1}{65} & \frac{1}{25} \end{array}\right] =(1)( \frac{1}{25}) - (1)( \frac{1}{65} )= \frac{8}{325}
Next, we are going to find the determinant of x:
D_{x} =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}375&1\\7& \frac{1}{25} \end{array}\right] = (375)( \frac{1}{25} )-(1)(7)=8

Now, we can find x:
x=  \frac{ D_{x} }{D} = \frac{8}{ \frac{8}{325} } =325mi

Now that we know the value of x, we can find y:
y=375-325=50mi

Remember that time equals distance over velocity; therefore, the time on the highway will be:
t_{h} = \frac{325}{65} =5hours
An the time on the city will be:
t_{c} = \frac{50}{25} =2hours

We can conclude that the bus was five hours on the highway and two hours in the city.

Help me find three different ratios that are equivalent to 3:11!! I need a explanation too!
SVEN [57.7K]
You can do
3 * 2 and 11 * 2 which would be 6:22 and is still equal to the ratio 3:11. Your explanation can be the when divided by 2 or the number you multiplied by, you would get the original ratio
Examples:
6:22
9:33
12:44

const2013 [10]
Hello.

Taking a look at our screenshot provided, we can conclude that we need to find the missing angle degree out of 90 degrees, as we are dealing with a right angle.

Let's set this up as an Algebraic formula and solve for the variable;
5x + 15 + 50 = 90

First, let's combine like-terms (15 and 50).

5x + 65 = 90

Now, isolate our variable by subtracting 65 from each side of the equation.

90 - 65 = 25
65 - 65 = 0

5x = 25

Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, our missing angle degree.

x = 5

Your answer is A.) 5

I hope this helps!
