Answer:

19.3795 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If sound travels at 343 m/s and it took Karen 0.113 s to hear the echo from the wall, the distance travelled by the sound is:

D=343\frac{m}{s} *0.113\ s\\D= 38.759\ m

Note that the distance calculated above is the distance travelled from Karen to the wall and then back from the wall to Karen. Therefore, the distance between Karen and the wall is:

d=\frac{38.759}{2}\\d=19.3795\ m

The wall is 19.3795 m away from Karen.

Solve: 2/3x - 3/4 = 5 + 5/6x
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{69}{2}\to x=-34\dfrac{1}{2}\to x=-34.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{3}{4}=5+\dfrac{5}{6}x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by LCD = 12}\\\\12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^4\cdot\dfrac{2}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}x-12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^3\cdot\dfrac{3}{4\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(12)(5)+12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{5}{6\!\!\!\diagup_1}x\\\\(4)(2x)-(3)(3)=60+(2)(5x)\\\\8x-9=60+10x\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\8x-9+9=60+9+10x\\\\8x=69+10x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 10x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-10x=69+10x-10x\\\\-2x=69\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\x=-\dfrac{69}{2}

Okay so first what you would do is find the common difference we can find this by doing 5/3 which is 1.66666666667 (rounded to 1.7)

Then what we do is 4 divided by 1.66666666667 which is 2.4

Riley adds 45.3 and 3.21 should his sum be greater than or less than 48 tell how you know
Romashka [77]

His sum should be more than 48.

I know because if you throw away the decimal pieces
and just add up the whole numbers  45  and  3 ,
right there you would have 48 .  So when you include
the decimal pieces, they'll make it even bigger.

the line y=2x-4 is dilated bt a scale factor of 3/2 and centered at the origin. Write an equation that represent that image of t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:  y = 2x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If (x,y) represents the coordinates of a line, then after dilation about the origin by the scale factor k, the coordinates of the resultant line will get by the rule,

(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)

Here, The equation of the given line is,

y = 2x - 4

x-intercept and y-intercept of the line are (2,0) and (0,-4) respectively,

Hence, the line y = 2x - 4 will be passes through the points (2,0) and (0,-4),

By the above property,

The dilated line about the origin will be passes through the points (3,0) and (0,-6),   ( Because (3/2× 2, 3/2×0) = (3,0) and (3/2×0, 3/2×-4) = (0,-6) )

Hence, the equation of transformed line after dilation,

y-0 = \frac{-6-0}{0-3}(x-3)    

y-0=2(x-3)

y-0=2x-6

y=2x-6
