Answer:

The answer is C, First you must find the length of the diagonal gravel path and you can use Pythagorean Theorem to do this. 24^2+32^2=c^2 and solve for c which will get you 40 feet. Now, solve for the area of the path by multiplying 40*2 (2 feet wide) which will get you an area of 80 square feet. Multiply 80 by 3.5 and then the answer is $280. Hope this helped you :)

What is the solution for x in the equation? 16x − 4 + 5x = -67

Luden [163]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

16x − 4 + 5x = -67

Combine like terms

21x -4 = -67

Add 4 to each side

21x-4+4 = -67+4

21x = -63

Divide each side by 21

21x/21 = -63/21

x = -3

Kevin is 4 times as old as Daniel and is also 6 years older than Daniel

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Part a) Daniel's age is 2 years

Part b) Kevin's age is 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Part a) How old is Daniel?

Part b) How old is Kevin?

Let

x ----> Kevin's age

y ----> Daniel's age

we know that

$x=4y$ -----> equation A

$x=y+6$ ----> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B

$4y=y+6$

solve for y

$4y-y=6$

$3y=6$

$y=2$

therefore

Daniel's age is 2 years

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in any of the two equations

$x=4(2)=8\ years$

$x=2+6=8\ years$

therefore

Kevin's age is 8 years

A private airplane leaves an airport and flies due east at 192 km/hr. Two hours later, a jet leaves the same airport and flies d

elixir [45]

The answer is 0.5 hours.

A velocity (v) of an object is a distance (d) divided by time (t):
v = d ÷ t ⇒ t = d ÷ v

It is given:
v1 = 192 km/h
v2 = 960 km/h
t1 - t2 = 2h
We need to calculate t2.

Since they will travel the same distance before the jet overtakes the plane, we can say that d1 = d2 = d

Now, let's express t1 and t2:
t1 = d/192
t2 = d/960

Therefore: d/192 - d/960 = 2
The least common denominator is 960, so:
5d/960 - d/960 = 2
4d/960 = 2
4d = 2 · 960
4d = 1920
d = 1920 ÷ 4 = 480 km

Now t2 = d/960 = 480/960 = 0.5 hours.
