Make chart (rate=speed)
distance=time times rate
D=TR
T=D/R
R=D/T
       D          T        R
J      60      x-2         y+10
M      50       x          y

xy=50
(x-2)(y+10)=60
solve for x and y
xy=50
divde both sides by x
y=50/x
subsitute
(x-2)(50/x+10)=60
distribute
50x/x-100/x+10x-20=60
50-100/x+10x-20=60
add like terms
10x-100/x+30=60
10x^2/x-100/x+30=60
(10x^2-100)/x+30=60
subtract 60 from both sides
(10x^2-100)/x-30=0
add 30 to both sides
(10x^2-100)/x=30
multiply both sides by x

10x^2-100=30x
subtract 30x from both sides
10x^2-30x-100=0
factor out the 10
(10)(x^2-3x-10)=0
if you have xy=0 then x and/or y=0 so
10≠0 so (x^2-3x-10)=0
factor by finding what 2 numbers multiply to get -10 and add to get -3
the numbers are -5 and 2 so
(x^2-3x-10)=(x-5)(x+2)=0
so x-5=0
x+2=0

x-5=0
add 5 to both sides
x=5

x+2=0
subtract 2 from both sides
x=-2
false since time cannot be negative

x=5
x times y=50
x=5
5 times y=50
divid eby 5
y=10=Maureen's speed
y+10=10+10=20=Jenny's speed



Jenny's speed is <u>20</u> miles per hour
Maureen's speed is <u>10</u> miles per hour

Use synthetic division to solve (2x^3+4x^2-35x+15) divided by (x-3) What is the quotient?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The only thing you need to watch carefully is the divisor which in this case is   x - 3. The divisor, in synthetic division, is the number that will make the binomial go to 0.  

x - 3 =0

x = 3

So the divisor is 3.

3  ||  2    4    -35    15

             6     30    -15

======================

       2   10    -5      0

So the quotient is

2x^2 + 10x - 5 with no remainder
