Ted is a long distance driver. It took him 30 min longer to drive 275km on the Trans-Canada highway west of Swift Current, Saska

tchewan, than it took him to drive 300km east of Swift Current. He averaged 10km/h less while travelling west of Swift Current due to more severe snow conditions. What was Ted's average speed for each part of the trip?

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

-BARSIC- [3]
You need to find a number that all three of those numbers go into. They all go into 60. Then, divide 60 by three because there are three items. 60 divided by 3 is 20, which is the answer.

Which table represents a linear function?
allsm [11]

Answer:

Graph One.

Step-by-step explanation:

See below. The graph is in a straight line, also known as linear. The other graphs are not. Also, if you look at the range (y) of the tables, you can see the increase is linear as it is increasing by .5 (1/2) everytime.

Which expression are equivalent to 2(4f+2g)
Cloud [144]

Answer:

8f+4g

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to distribute 2 to each number in the parentheses 2 times 4 is 8 and since 4 has a variable it is 8f and 2 times 2 is 4 and since 2 has a variable it is 4g. We don't combine the two because they have different variables. So the answer is 8f+4g. Hope this helped :)

If f(x) = -3x + 4 and g(x) = 2, solve for the value of x for<br> which f(x) = g(x) is true.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

the lines meet at (2/3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = g(x)

plug equations for f(x) and G(x)

-3x+4 = 2

-3x = -2

x = 2/3

since both equations meet at x = 2/3, it doesn't matter which equation you plug x = 2/3 into to find the y-coordinate

for simplicity purposes since g(x) is easier to solve, I am going to plug x = 2/3 into g(x), but plugging it into f(x) will give you same answer

g(x) = 2

g(2/3) = 2

the lines meet at (2/3, 2)
