Answer:
A^2 means a*a
Step-by-step explanation:
A^2 = 5^2=5*5=25
3a^2=3*5^2=3*25=75
A^2+7=5^2+7=25+7=32
Simplification = 3.5x + 2.5x
Result = 6x

Answer:
4 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.
Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...
c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs
c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle
c² = 2
c = √2
That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.
