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

Solve x^2-8x-9=0 using completing the square (show the work)
Elden [556K]

Answer: x=9,-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are gonna start out with finding two numbers that multiply to equal -9 and add up to equal -8

Those numbers would be -9 & 1

-9+1=-8

-9x1=-9

Now we have

(x-9)(x+1)

x-9=0   x+1=0

 +9 +9   -1  -1

x=9      x=-1

Classify the triangle by its sides and by its angles
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Scalene obtuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scalene means that none of the sides are the same.  You can tell by looking at the triangle that none of the sides are the same.  An obtuse triangle is a triangle with one obtuse angle.  It is a close call between obtuse and right, but I believe that I can definitely say that the angle is a little more than 90 degrees, and is therefore obtuse.

Opal makes $15 per hour working for a photographer. She also coaches a competitive soccer team for $10 per hour.
Jlenok [28]

The system of inequalities that represents the given situation are x + y ≤ 20 and 15x + 10y ≥ 90.

The parameters needed to model the inequalities;

  • amount made by Opal working for a photographer = $15 per hour
  • amount made in the soccer team = $10 per hour
  • minimum amount Opal needs to make a week = $90
  • maximum number of hours Opal needs to work = 20 hours

Let the number of hours Opal works for a photographer = x

Let the number of hours Opal works in soccer team = y

The first system of inequality in the given situation is represented as;

x + y ≤ 20

The second system of inequality in the given situation is represented as;

15x + 10y ≥ 90

Thus, the system of inequalities that represents the given situation are x + y ≤ 20 and 15x + 10y ≥ 90.
