Answer:

x1 = 275 miles (shorter)

x2 = 318 miles (longer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x1 = be the shorter route

v1 = speed of the car in the shorter route

t1 = time it took to cover shorter route

x2 = the longer route

v2 = speed of the car in the longer route

t2 = time it took to cover longer route


x1 + 43 = x2   (1)

v2 = v1 -2   (2)


v2 = x2/t2 = x2/6

v1 = x1/t1 = x1/5


This means that

v2 = v1 -2   =>

x2/6 = x1/5 -2

The system of equations results

a.   x1 -x2 = -43

b.  x1/5 - x2/6 = 2

Solving this system of equations, we find that

x1 = 275 miles

x2 = 318 miles

Answer:

D1 = 275 miles

D2 = 318 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

D=R*T

D1 = be the shorter route

R1 = speed of the car in the shorter route

T1 = time it took to cover shorter route

D2 = the longer route

R2 = speed of the car in the longer route

T2 = time it took to cover longer route

D1 + 43 = D2   (1)

R2 = R1 -2   (2)

R2 = D2/T2 = x2/6

R1 = x1/T1 = x1/5

This means that

R2 = R1 -2   =>

D2/6 = D1/5 -2

The system of equations results

a.   D1 -D2 = -43

b.  D1/5 - D2/6 = 2

Solving this system of equations, we find that

D1 = 275 miles

D2 = 318 miles

The spinner at the right is divided into eight equal parts. Find the theoretical probability of
finlep [7]

Answer:

\frac{3}{4} probability of landing on a number greater than 2 on the spinner.

Step-by-step explanation:

A theoretical probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

8 possible outcomes(all numbers from 1 to 8).

6 desired outcomes(3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, that is, all the numbers greater than 2). So

p = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}

\frac{3}{4} probability of landing on a number greater than 2 on the spinner.

Use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to 9(c+5).
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

9c + 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property also known as distributive law of multiplication and division.

In the given expression, distributive law of multiplication is applied where we can multiply first before addition.

Given

9(c+5)

Using distributive property

9(c+5)

= (9 × c) + (9 × 5)

= 9c + 45

9(c+5) = 9c + 45
