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.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!! Anaya bought a sweater that was on sale. The sweater originally cost $34.50 but was purchased for $27.60. What
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: 80%. Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage, divide the sale cost by the original cost:

27.60/34.50

Let's multiply both sides by 10 to make the operation easier:

27.6/34.5 ( I eliminated the zero's because they kind of have no use) -->

276/345, now solve:

276/345 = 0.8

0.8 = 80%

The percentage is 80%.

Write a rule for the linear function in the table.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

I guess that you want to know the transformations:

We start with:

f(x) = y = 4*x + 3

a)the transformed function is:

f(x) = y = -4*x - 3

So the sign changed.

This means that we go from (x, y) to (x, - y)

This is a reflection over the x-axis which changes the sin of the y component.

b) Now we go to f(x) = 4*x + 3

So the coefficient in the leading term changed.

This is a horizontal contraction:

A horizontal contraction of factor K for the function g(x) is: g(K*x)

In our case, we have:

f(K*x) = 4*(k*x) + 3 = x + 3

4*k*x = x

4*k = 1

k = 1/4

Then the transformation is an horizontal contraction of scale factor 1/4.

How do yo work out 9.1 divided by 3575
EastWind [94]
9.1/3575
use long division like this
         _<u>0.</u>_________
3575|91.000000

we find how many of 3575 fit into the 91
it's too big so we go farther
how many 3575 go into 910
too big so we go farther
how many 3575 go into 9100
the answer is 2 so put that in the correct place and mulitply that and put that in the correct place. then we subtract

         _<u>0.</u><u>02</u>_________
3575|91.000000
        -<u>71.50</u>
         19.50
bring down the next number
find how many go into 19.500
the answe ris 5


         _<u>0.</u><u>02</u><u>5</u>_________
3575|91.000000
        -<u>71.50</u>
         19.500
        -<u>17.875</u>
           1.625
          
bring down he next zero ( I fast forward and skip steps for convinience)

                      __
         _<u>0.</u><u>02</u><u>5</u><u>455</u>_________
3575|91.000000
        -<u>71.50</u>
         19.500
        -<u>17.875</u>
           1.6250
          -<u>1.4300</u>
             .19500
            -<u>.17875
</u>                16250
               -14300
and so on untill infinity so the answe ris 0.0254555555555555 (enless fives)

The combined area of a pair of congruent rectangles can be represented, in square units, by the expression 18y^2-818y 2 −8. The
sveta [45]

Answer:

Perimeter = 12y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 18y^2 - 8 -- two rectangles

Required

Determine the perimeter of one of the rectangles

First, calculate the area (A) of 1 rectangle

A =\frac{1}{2}Area

A =\frac{1}{2}(18y^2 - 8)

A =9y^2 - 4

Express as difference of two squares

A =(3y - 2)(3y+2)

Area is calculated as:

A = Length * Width

So, by comparison:

Length = 3y - 2

Width = 3y + 2

The perimeter is:

Perimeter = 2 *(Length + Width)

Perimeter = 2 *(3y-2+3y+2)

Collect Like Terms

Perimeter = 2 *(3y+3y-2+2)

Perimeter = 2 *(6y)

Perimeter = 12y
