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

Help please, I attached the question. Is it a!? <br>

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a quadratic equation of the form:

0=ax^2+bx+c

The number of solutions it has can be determined using its discriminant:  

\Delta = b^2-4ac

Where:

  • If the discriminant is positive, we have two real solutions.
  • If the discriminant is negative, we have no real solutions.
  • And if the discriminant is zero, we have exactly one solution.

We have the equation:

2x^2+5x-k=0

Thus, <em>a</em> = 2, <em>b</em> = 5, and <em>c</em> = -<em>k</em>.

In order for the equation to have exactly one distinct solution, the discriminant must equal zero. Hence:

b^2-4ac=0

Substitute:

(5)^2-4(2)(-k)=0

Solve for <em>k</em>. Simplify:

25+8k=0

Solve:

\displaystyle k = -\frac{25}{8}

Thus, our answer is indeed A.
