D = rt.  The first car's rate is r, and the other one, going faster, is r + 12.  The time they travel is 2 hours.  Since one is going faster than the other, he has gotten farther.  But, regardless of that, the distance between them is 232.  So the distance the first one travels, r*t, which 2r, plus the distance the second one travels, 2(r+12) = 232.  2r + 2r + 24 = 232.  Solve for r.  4r = 208 and r = 52.  The slower one goes 52 and the faster one goes 64

The first cars speed is X miles per hour.
 The 2nd cars speed is X + 12 miles per hour

X + X +12 = 232 / 2

2x +12 = 116

2x = 116-12

2x = 104

x = 104 / 2
x = 52

x+12 = 52+12 = 64


 The 2 cars are driving 52 and 64 miles per hour

The sale of the 150 shares of stock B at $27.25 per share will get Juan ...

  150 · $27.25 = $4087.50

So, the total Juan will receive from the sale of the stocks will be ...

  $9000.00 +4087.50 = $13,087.50

What is the distance between the points A and B on the flagpole?
Natalija [7]

Hello!

Let's think of this large triangle as a whole. If we add up the angles, we have 115°. The adjacent side to this angle is 9 feet. Let's try finding the opposite side. The tangent deals with these two.

tan115≈2.14

Therefore, x/9=2.14

We multiply both sides by 9 to find x.

x=19.26

Now let's find the length BC and subtract it from 19.26 to find our length. As we will deal with opposite and adjacent sides, we will find the tangent.

tan45=1

This means x/9=1

Therefore, BC=9

Now we can subtract from 19.26

19.26-9=10.26

Therefore, this length is 10.26 feet

I hope this helps!
