Answer: Destiny's speed is 11 mph.

Alicia's speed is 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Destiny and Alicia both leave the coffee shop at the same time, but in opposite directions. If they are 78 miles apart after 3 hours, it means that the total distance that they covered in 3hours is 78 miles

Let x represent the speed at which Destiny travelled. If Alicia travels 4 mph faster than Destiny, it means that the speed at which Alicia travelled is (x + 4) mph

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Destiny in 3 hours is

3 × x = 3x

Distance covered by Alicia in 3 hours is

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

Since the total distance is 78 miles, then

3x + 3x + 12 = 78

6x = 78 - 12 = 66

x = 66/6 = 11 mph

Alicia's speed is

11 + 4 = 15 mph

∆ABC rotates 90° clockwise about point P to form ∆A′B′C′.
OlgaM077 [116]
Assume P(xp,yp), A(xa,ya), etc.
We know that rotation rule of 90<span>° clockwise about the origin is
R_-90(x,y) -> (y,-x)
For example, rotating A about the origin 90</span><span>° clockwise is
(xa,ya) -> (ya, -xa)
or for a point at H(5,2), after rotation, H'(2,-5), etc.

To rotate about P, we need to translate the point to the origin, rotate, then translate back.  The rule for translation is
T_(dx,dy) (x,y) -> (x+dx, y+dy)

So with the translation set at the coordinates of P, and combining the rotation with the translations, the complete rule is:
T_(xp,yp)  R_(-90)  T_(-xp,-yp) (x,y) 
-> </span>T_(xp,yp)  R_(-90)  (x-xp, y-yp)
-> T_(xp,yp)  (y-yp, -(x-xp))
-> (y-yp+xp, -x+xp+yp)

Example: rotate point A(7,3) about point P(4,2)
=> x=7, y=3, xp=4, yp=2
=> A'(3-2+4, -7+4+2) => A'(5,-1)

Which procedure justifies whether Negative 3 x (5 minus 4) + 3 (x minus 6) is equivalent to Negative 12 x minus 6? The expressio
Nady [450]

Answer:

The expressions are not equivalent because -3(2)(5-4)+3(2-6)=-18 and -12(2)-6=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

Two expressions are said to be equal if after a number is substituted to the expression, they produce the same result (that is they have the same value).

To determine whether -3x(5-4)+3(x-6) is equivalent to -12x-6, we have to substitute the same number to the expression and see if it produces the same result.

Substituting 2 to the first expression gives:

-3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18

Substituting 2 to the second expression gives:

-12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30

Since -3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18 and -12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30, the expressions are not equivalent because they do not produce the same result.
