Answer:

Mike spends 6 minutes riding

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of time spent in train and y be the amount of time spent in subway (in hours).

x + y = 1  

65x + 25y = 61

Rearranging equation 1:

x = y - 1

Substituting equation 3 in equation 2

65(1 - y) + 25y = 61

65 - 65y + 25y = 61

4 = 40y

y = 0.1 hours

Converting hours to minutes:

0.1 x 60 = 6 minutes

Mike spends 6 minutes riding the subway.

Answer:

Time_subway = 6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time to get to work = 1 hour

Total_distance = 61 miles

Speed_train = 65 miles/h

Speed_subway = 25 miles/h

The fomula for speed is defined as

Speed = distance/ time, which means that

Time = distance/speed

Total_time = time_train + time_subway

Total_time  =  (distance_train/Speed_train) +    

                       (distance_subway/Speed_subway )

1h = (distance_train/65) + (distance_subway/25 )

We also know that

Total_distance = 61 miles =  distance_train + distance_subway

We solve the system of two equations

1 = (distance_train/65) + (distance_subway/25 )

61 =  distance_train + distance_subway

We obtain that

distance_train  = 58.5 miles

distance_subway = 2.5 miles

So the time spent on the subway is

t_sub =  (2.5 mi/25  mi/h) = 0.1 h

0.1 h is equal to 6 minutes

Over [174]

Answer:

Ans is 59

Step-by-step explanation:

46 +51+y=180 (sum of triangle)

y=180-46-51

y=83

now,

83+x+38=180

x=180-83-38

x=59

value of x is 59

Two equations are given below:
jeka94
Siince 2nd equation is already equal a, subsitute b-2 for a in the other equation

b-2-3b=28
-2-2b=28
add 2 to both sides
-2b=30
divide both sides by -2
b=-15
sub back
a=b-2
a=-15-2
a=-17

(a,b)
(-17,-15)

(-3) + 8 – 7x7<br> I need help with this on
nika2105 [10]

Answer: -44

Step-by-step explanation: PEMDAS(Parenthesis; Exponent; Multiply; Divide; Add; Subtract)

First you multiply the seven with the other seven to get 49. The problem will look like this: (-3) + 8 - 49. Now just add the -3 and 8. You'd get 5.

Now the problem looks like this: 5 - 49. And you then get -44.

Find the inverse of each function. Is the inverse a function? f(x)=x⁷
Luda [366]

The inverse of the function x^7 is x^-7 and it is also a function.

An inverse function or an anti function is defined as a function, which can reverse into another function.

A standard method to find inverse of a function is to set y=f(x)

let y= f(x)=x^7

thus

\sqrt[7]{y}=x

thus f^{-1}(y)=\sqrt[7]{y}

thus f^{-1} (x)=\sqrt[7]{x}

(To verify this if a function is inverse or not we are required to check for the identity)

f(f^{-1}(x))=f^{-1}(f(x))=x

Therefore, The inverse of the function x^7 is x^-7 and it is also a function.
