Ricky, Sam, and Timothy cycles from Airy Town to Brightvale which was 9km apart. Ricky cycles at a constant x km/h. Sam cycled a

t y km/h faster than Ricky and took 40 minutes to reach Brightvale. Timothy cycles y km/h slower than Ricky and took 50 minutes to complete the same distance.
By forming 2 equations in x and y, find the speed in which Ricky cycled.

12.15 km /h

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

Distance between Airy Town to Brightvale  = 9 km

Speed of Ricky = x km/h

Step 2:

Speed taken by Sam = x + y km/h

Time taken by Sam = 40 min = 40/60 hrs = 2/3 hrs

so we have (x+y) 2/3 = 9

Step 3:

Speed taken by Timothy = x - y km / h

Time taken by Timothy = 50 min = 50/60 = 5/6 hrs

= > (x-y) 5/6 = 9

Step 4 :

Solving the 2 equations

(x+y) 2/3 = 9 and (x-y) 5/6 = 9 we have

(2/3)x + 2/3(y) = 9 = > 2x + 2 y = 27

5/6(x) - 5/6(y) = 9 = > 5 x - 5 y = 54

Multiplying the first equation by 5 and the second by 2 we have ,

10 x + 10 y = 135 and 10 x - 10y = 108

Adding both,

20 x = 243 => x = 12.15.

This gives speed of Ricky as 12.15 km /h

Evaluate: 5–^2 = <br> WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST
Elanso [62]

When you have a negative exponent, you move it to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.

For example:

x^{-2} or \frac{x^{-2}}{1}=\frac{1}{x^2}

\frac{1}{y^{-2}}=\frac{y^2}{1}  or  y²



So:

5^{-2}=\frac{1}{5^2}=\frac{1}{25}

Your answer is B

Factor completely 10x2 + 2x − 8. (1 point)
ivanzaharov [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

10x²+2x-8=0

=>10x²+10x-8x-8=0

=>10x(x+1)-8(x+1)=0

=>(10x-8)(x+1)=0

=>2(5x-4)(x+1)=0

HCF of 405 and 1605 answer it fast
Rashid [163]

Answer:

hcf=(1,605; 600) = 3 × 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime Factorization of a number: finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make that number.

1,605 = 3 × 5 × 107;

1,605 is not a prime, is a composite number;

600 = 23 × 3 × 52;

600 is not a prime, is a composite number;

* Positive integers that are only dividing by themselves and 1 are called prime numbers. A prime number has only two factors: 1 and itself.

* A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one factor (divisor) other than 1 and itself.

Multiply all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents (if any).

gcf, hcf, gcd (1,605; 600) = 3 × 5

gcf, hcf, gcd (1,605; 600) = 3 × 5 = 15;

The numbers have common prime factors.

Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1,3) and is perpendicular to 2y=x−1. Leave your answer in the form y=mx +c A
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

y = -2x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = x - 1

y = 1/2y - 1/2

If line X is perpendicular to line Y (the line where y = 1/2y - 1/2), the slope will be the negative reciprocal of line Y. That means that there will be a negative sign instead of positive, and the 1/2 will be flipped to become 2/1, which is 2.

So, the slope will be -2.

We now have y = -2x + c.

To find c, simply put in -1 for x and 3 for y.

3 = -2 * -1 + c

c + 2 * 1 = 3

c + 2 = 3

c = 1

So, the equation of the line is y = -2x + 1.

Hope this helps!
