Speed traveling west = x - 10 km /hr


275 / ( x-10) - 300 / x = 1/2



275 *2x - 300 (x-10)*2 = ( x-10) *x



550x - 600x +6000 = x^2 -10x



x^2 +40x - 6000 = 0


( x -60) ( x+100) = 0


x = 60


ANSWER East = 60 km/ hr West = 50 km /hr


CHECK


300 /60 = 5 hours

275 /50 = 5.5 hours

4. solve<br> e) 4^x-10.2^x+16=0<br> I think the dot means multiply?
suter [353]
4^x-10\cdot2^x+16=0\Rightarrow(2^2)^x-10\cdot2^x+16=0\Rightarrow(2^x)^2-10\cdot2^x+16=0

subtitute\ 2^x=t > 0\\\\t^2-10t+16=0\\t^2-2t-8t+16=0\\t(t-2)-8(t-2)=0\\(t-2)(t-8)=0\iff t-2=0\ or\ t-8=0\\\\t=2\ or\ t=8\\\\t=2^1\ or\ t=2^3\\\\therefore\ 2^x=2^1\ or\ 2^x=2^3\\\\Answer:\boxed{x=1\ or\ x=3}

Please help, Will give brainliest
Talja [164]

Answer:

First since 2 of the options ask for the width of BM lets solve for it using the Pythagorean theorem for both sides of point L:

a² + b² = c²

30² + b² = 50²

b² = 50² - 30²

b² = 1600

b = 40    Line BL = 40 ft

Since the ladder is 50 feet it is the same length on the other side as well

a² + b² = c²

40² + b² = 50²

b² = 50² - 40²

b² = 900

b = 30        line LM is 30 ft

SO line lm + line bl = 30 + 40 = 70 ft

A is true because ^

B isn't true because as we solved for earlier, BL is 40

C is true because line LM is in fact 30 ft as we solved for

D is not true because as we said earlier BM is 70

E is true because the same ladder was used on both sides of the street
