Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.

melomori [17]

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. So you can do:

91° + (8x + 3)° + (10x - 4)° = 180°   To find x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation. First combine like terms (terms that have the same variable and power/exponent]

91 + 3 - 4 + 8x + 10x = 180      (I rearranged for the like terms to be next to each other)

90 + 18x = 180      Subtract 90 on both sides

18x = 90       Divide 18 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 5

PROOF

91° + (8x + 3)° + (10x - 4)° = 180°       Plug in 5 for "x"

91° + (8(5) + 3)° + (10(5) - 4)° = 180°

91° + (40 + 3)° + (50 - 4)° = 180°

91° + 43° + 46° = 180°

180° = 180°

the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 2 and the sum of the first 15 terms is 292.5. Find the common difference
adelina 88 [10]

Given:

First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.

Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5

To find:

The common difference.

Solution:

We have,

First term: a=2

Sum of first 15 terms: S_{15}=292.5

The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Where, a is first term and d is common difference.

Putting S_{15}=292.5, n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get

292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(2)+(15-1)d]

292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[4+14d]

292.5=15[2+7d]

Divide both sides by 15.

\dfrac{292.5}{15}=2+7d

19.5=2+7d

19.5-2=7d

17.5=7d

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

\dfrac{17.5}{7}=d

2.5=d

Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.

3x+y=115x-y=21 Directions: Solve each system of equations by elimination. Clearly identify your solution.
olchik [2.2K]

To solve, we will follow the steps below:

3x+y=11 --------------------------(1)



5x-y=21 ------------------------------(2)

since y have the same coefficient, we can eliminate it directly by adding equation (1) and (2)

adding equation (1) and (2) will result;

8x =32

divide both-side of the equation by 8

x = 4

We move on to eliminate x and then solve for y

To eliminate x, we have to make sure the coefficient of the two equations are the same.

We can achieve this by multiplying through equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3

The result will be;

15x + 5y = 55 ----------------------------(3)

15x - 3y =63 --------------------------------(4)

subtract equation (4) from equation(3)

8y = -8

divide both-side of the equation by 8

y = -1

I need helpp!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rasek [7]
Hey,
We can see here 2 of the angles are equal and the third one is a right angle right?
That means it is an isosceles triangle since they have 2 equel angles and a right anlgle.

Another feature of the isosceles triangle is that 2 sides are equal.
We are given one side is 5.5 right?
So the side BC has to be 5.5 or the side AB has to be 5.5
In isosceles triangles the side opposite to the 90 degree angle is the hypotenuse.This means it is the longest angle.
So it has to be AB which is equal to 5.5 since BC is the hypotenuse.

Hope this helps,Happy New Year

What is the value of x in the equation 1/2x - 2/3 y = 30, when y = 15
hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x - 2/3 × 15 = 30

1/2x - 10 = 30

1/2x = 30 + 10

1/2x = 40

x = 40 × 2

x = 80

hope this helps
