Answer:

Yes, Josh's parent's house in Texas is the midpoint between South Carolina and California

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represents South carolina C represents California and T represents Texas,

Given,

ST = 12x - 106,

TC = 5x + 685,

Also, SC = 2500 miles,

Suppose T is the midpoint of S and C,

⇒ ST = TC

12x - 106 = 5x + 685

7x = 791

⇒ x = \frac{791}{7} = 113

So, ST = 12(113)+106 =1356 - 106 = 1250

Now,

2\times ST = 2\times 1250=2500

⇒ 2 ST = SC

Hence, T is the midpoint of S and C.

Given, distance between South Carolina and Texas = 12x-106

Distance between Texas and California = 5x+685

Let's assume, both the distance is same.

12x-106=5x+685

=> 12x-5x = 685+106

=> 7x = 791

=>x=113

Plug x = 113 in 5x+685

5(113)+685 = 1250 Miles.

Similarly, 12(113)-106=1250 miles

Since 2500 divided by 2 = 1250 miles, hence our assumption was correct, Texas lies between both the cities.

Help i dont feel like doing this help me please

Answer:

The answer is A. $1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Two $10 bills are equal to $20.

Your change is $7.85

So if you subtract $7.85 from $20 you will come up with $12.15.

$12.15 is how much money you spend on mini burgers.

You can then divide how much money you spent with how many burgers you bought.

12.15 divided by 9 gives us 1.35. So each burger was $1.35.

Suppose you travel to Africa and drop a note in a sealed bottle in the Nile at its source. If the bottle traveled at 7 km/h on a
ValentinkaMS [17]

The time required for the bottle to reach the end of Nile is 963 hours

What is Speed?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of position of an object in any direction. Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered. Speed is a scalar quantity as it has only direction and no magnitude

Speed = Distance / Time

Given data ,

Let the speed of the bottle in the river be S = 7 km/h

Let the distance traveled by the bottle in the river be D = 6741 km

Now , the time taken by the bottle to reach the distance D with speed S is calculated by the equation

Speed = Distance / Time

and ,

Time = Distance / Speed

Substituting the values of distance and speed in the equation , we get

Time taken by the bottle = 6741 / 7

                                          = 963 hours

Therefore , the time required is 963 hours

Hence , The time required for the bottle to reach the end of Nile is 963 hours
