dem82 [27]

Answer:they would pay a total amount of $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Scott and Tom rent a boat at Stow Lake. They start at 10:15 and end at 11:45. The number of hours for which they rented the boat would be

90/15 × 1.5 = $9

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determi
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

It takes 3 seconds over the interval [0,3]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find when the roller coaster reaches the ground, find when d=0.

0=144-16t^2

To solve divide each term by 16 and factor:

\frac{0}{16}=\frac{144}{16} -\frac{-16t^2}{16}  \\0= 9 - t^2\\0=(3-t)(3+t)

Solve for t by setting each factor to 0.

t-3=0 so t=3

t+3=0 so t=-3

This means the car is in the air from 0 to 3 second.

If 2a+4b=5 and a is equal to three times b, what is 3a?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

3a=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

it says that "a is equal to 3 times b", which translates to a=3b

We can substitute a as 3b in 2a+4b=5

2(3b)+4b=5

multiply

6b+4b=5

add

10b=5

divide by 10

b=1/2

since it's given that a=3b, we can multiply 1/2 by 3

a=3/2

3a is 3 times a, so we can mutiply 3(3/2)=9/2=4.5

Hope this helps!
