120/2 = x/5....120 miles to 2 hrs = x miles to 5 hrs
cross multiply
(2)(x) = (120)(5)
2x = 600
x = 600/2
x = 300....the motorcyclist would travel 300 miles in 5 hrs

or u could do it this way..
120/2 = 60 miles per hr
60 * 5 = 300 miles

3x + 15 = 66

<u> -15 -15</u>

3x = 51

Divide 51 by 3 which equals 17.

The side lengths of the following right triangle 15,20 and 25, as shown below. The altitude from the right angle splits the hypo

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$h = 12$

$x = 9$

$y= 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find h, x and y

Let the base of the triangle be 15.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 15 * 20$

$i.e\ height = 20$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 300$

$A = 150$

Let the base of the triangle be 25.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25 * h$

$i.e\ height = h$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25h$

Substitute $A = 150$

$\frac{1}{2}*25h = 150$

Solve for h

$h = \frac{150 *2}{25}$

$h = 6 *2$

$h = 12$

Considering the smallest triangle

$Hypotenuse = 15$

So:

$15^2 = h^2 + x^2$

$15^2 = 12^2 + x^2$

This gives:

$15^2 - 12^2 = x^2$

$81 = x^2$

Take square roots

$9 =x$

$x = 9$

Solving for y

$x + y = 25$

$y= 25 - x$

$y= 25 - 9$

$y= 16$

A tour director collected $258 for 13 tour packages tour packages a cost $18 into a package requires $22 how many of each tour p

Lena [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y = 13

$18 + $22 = $258

OR

18X+22Y=258

18X + 22(13 - X) = 258

18X + 286 - 22X = 258

286 - 4X = 258

-4X= 258 - 286

-4X = -28

X= 7

Y=6

7 of the X tour packages & 6 of the Y tour packages
