You are looking at right angles in the problem. Right angles are 90 degrees.
So set up the problem to solve for X using:
90=4x+12
90-12=4x
78=4x
39/2 or 19.5 = x
3/5 of 9 miles is 5.4 miles
5n-4 = 6 gives the equation for 5 times #Nathan rode less 4 miles which solves to n = 2
Nathan rode 2 miles. (5*2)-4 = 6 10-4=6 so 2 miles is right
In this question, we can determine Maggie car initial speed (15m/s), final speed(0m/s) and the time her car moves (2.5s). Then to calculate the distance she travels, we need to multiply the average speed with time. The equation would be:
Distance traveled= (initial speed+final speed)/2 x time
Distance traveled= (0m/s + 15m/s)/2 x 2.5 second= 7.5m/s x 2.5s= 18.75m
Hi there!
The perimeter of any square is the side of the square multiplied by four.
Perimeter= 4 x (5x-2)
Then distribute the four over parentheses.
Perimeter= 4(5x)-4(2)
Perimeter= 20x-8
Hope this helps :)
