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

julio bisects angle PQR and labels a point on the bisector as S. He measures angle PQS with a protractor. The measure of angle P
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The measure of angle PQR is 74 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- Bisect an angle means divide the angle into two equal parts in

  measures

- Ex: If angle ABC is bisected by a ray BD then:

- Angle ABC is divided into two equal parts in measure

 m∠ABD = m∠CBD and

 m∠ABC = m∠ABD + m∠CBD

- So we can say measure of angle ABC is twice measure of angle

 ABD or twice measure of angle CBD

*<em> Lets solve the problem</em>

- Julio bisects angle PQR and labels a point on the bisector as S

∴ m∠PQS = m∠RQS

∴ m∠PQR = m∠PQS + m∠RQS

∴ m∠PQR = 2 m∠PQS ⇒ (or 2 m∠RQS)

- He measures angle PQS with a protractor and find its measure is

  37 degrees

∵ m∠PQS = 37°

∴ m∠PQR = 2 × m∠PQS

∴ m∠PQR = 2 × 37 = 74°

∴ The measure of angle PQR is 74 degrees

Answer:

Loan payment = Loan amount / Discount factor

Number of Periodic Payments (n) = Payments per year times number of years. Periodic Interest Rate (i) = Annual rate divided by number of payments per. Discount Factor (D) = {[(1 + i) ^n] - 1} / [i(1 + i)^n]

Can someone help please?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

y=1X

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the distance over the money made over the days worked is 2/2 which simplifies to 1 so that would be the one x. then the y intercept is found on the y axis where does the line cross the y axis? this would be at zero so you do not need to put that in the equation

Homework ree
umka21 [38]

Answer:

325 miles and 77 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create equations. Let x equal the miles driven. The first plan expression  is 38 + 0.12x and the second plan expression is 51 + 0.08x. Setting these equal and solve for x: 38 + 0.12x = 51 + 0.08x -> 0.04x = 13 -> x = 325 miles.

The cost is found by substituting it into any of the expressions: 51 + 0.08(325) = 77 or 38 + 0.12(325) = 77
