Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr

2x + 3y = 5x - y complete the missing value in the solution to the equation
Leto [7]

Answer:

The missing value is(0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

2x+3y=5x-y

Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.

( ,0)

<u>Solution:</u>

We have given:

2x + 3y = 5x - y

Combine the like terms:

2x-5x= -y-3y

-3x = -4y

Both negative signs will be cancelled out by each other.

So we have,

3x = 4y

We have given y = 0

Then

3x = 4*0

3x= 0

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 0/3

x = 0

y=0

Therefore missing value is(0,0)

Help!!! ASAP pleaseee!!
Alla [95]

Answer:

1. The two numbers are 4 and 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) variables: x and y

2) x + y = 12, y - x = 4

3) graph using desmos or another graphing calculator

4) the solution is x = 4, y = 8, or 4 and 8. This means that 4 and 8 can be added to equal 12, and the difference between them is 4.

Find the value of x in 4:x::x:16
AnnyKZ [126]

Given:

4:x::x:16

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,

4:x::x:16

It means, we have

4:x = x:16

It can be rewritten as

\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{x}{16}

On cross multiplication, we get

4\times 16=x\times x

64=x^2

Taking square root on both sides.

\pm \sqrt{64}=x

\pm 8=x

Since ratio can be negative or positive, therefore, the value of x is either -8 or 8.
