Let's represent how far Eli travels as x.
Sara travels twice as far as that, so 2x.
Ashley travels as far as Eli and Sara combined. x + 2x = 3x.
Hazel travels 3× as far as Sara, and 3×2x = 6x.

All of these add up to 888.
x + 2x + 3x + 6x = 888
Let's add up these like terms.
12x = 888
We can then divide each side by 12...
x = 74

Therefore, Eli traveled 74 miles!
We can use this value to figure out everyone else's distances as well.
Sara = 2 × 74 = 148
Ashley = 3 × 74 = 222
Hazel = 6 × 74 = 444

  • Sara: 148 miles
  • Eli: 74  miles
  • Ashley: 222  miles
  • Hazel: 444 miles
<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

  • Sara travels twice as far as Eli when going to camp.
  • Ashley travels as far as Sara and Eli together.
  • Hazel travels three times as far as Sara.
  • In total, all four travel a total of 888 miles to camp.

<u>Question:</u>

How far does each of them travel?

<u>The Process:</u>

Notice of the four people, the easiest way is to start from Eli.

Let's call Eli's travel as x.

\boxed{ \ Eli's \ travel = x \ }

Sara travels twice as far as Eli.

\boxed{ \ Sara's \ travel = 2x \ }

Ashley travels as far as Sara and Eli together.

\boxed{ \ Ashley's \ travel = x + 2x \rightarrow \boxed{ \ Ashley's \ travel = 3x \ }}

Hazel travels three times as far as Sara.

\boxed{ \ Hazel's \ travel = 3 \times 2x \rightarrow \boxed{ \ Hazel's \ travel = 6x \ }}

In total, all four travel a total of 888 miles to camp. Meaning, all of the above adds up to 888.

\boxed{ \ x + 2x + 3x + 6x = 888 \ }

\boxed{ \ 12x = 888 \ }

\boxed{ \ 12 \cdot x = 888 \ }

Both sides multiplied by 12.

\boxed{ \ x = 888 \div 12 \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ x = 74 \ }}

We have obtained x. The final step is to substitute the value of x for each person's travel.

  • \boxed{ \ Eli's \ travel = x \rightarrow \boxed{ \ Eli's \ travel = 74 \ miles \ }}
  • \boxed{ \ Sara's \ travel = 2x \rightarrow \boxed{ \ Sara's \ travel = 2 \times 74 = 148 \ miles \ }}
  • \boxed{ \ Ashley's \ travel = 3x \rightarrow \boxed{ \ Ashley's \ travel = 3 \times 74 = 222 \ miles \ }}
  • \boxed{ \ Hazel's \ travel = 6x \rightarrow \boxed{ \ Hazel's \ travel = 6 \times 74 = 444 \ miles \ }}

Thus we already know how far each of them travels.

- - - - - - -

The summary scheme is as follows:

  • Eli's travel ⇒ \boxed{x}
  • Sara's travel ⇒ \boxed{x}\boxed{x}
  • Ashley's travel ⇒ \boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}  
  • Hazel's travel ⇒ \boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}

\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x}\boxed{x} = 888

\boxed{ \ 12 \cdot x = 888 \ }

\boxed{ \ x = 888 \div 12 \ }

Hence, the value of x is \boxed{\boxed{ \ x = 74 \ }}

Graph the line and the parabola and find the points of intersection: y= 3-x ; y=x(squared)+x-12
melomori [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to graph a line y = 3 - x which has the slope = -1 and y intercept 3.

We will select two points where line intersects at x = 0 and y = 0

The given line will intersect x-axis at (3, 0) and at y- axis (0, 3).

Joining these two points we can draw a straight line showing y = -x + 3

Now we will draw the parabola given by equation y = x² + x - 12

We will convert this equation in vertex form first to get the vertex and line of symmetry.

Standard equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex and x = h is the line of symmetry.

y = x² + x - 12

y = x² + 2(0.5)x + (0.5)²- (0.5)²-12

y = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

Therefore, vertex will be (-0.5, -12.25) and line of symmetry will be x = 0.5

For x intercept,

0 = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

x + 0.5 = ±√12.25

x = -0.5 ± 3.5

x = -4, 3

For y- intercept,

y = (0+0.5)² - 12.25

 = 0.25 - 12.25

y = -12

So the parabola has vertex (-0.5, - 12.25), line of symmetry x = 0.5, x intercept (4, 0), (and y-intercept (0, -12).

Now we have to find the points of intersection of the given line and parabola.

For this we will replace the values of y

3 - x = x² + x - 12

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

x² + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0

x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0

x = 3, -5

For x = 3

y = 3- 3 = 0

For x = -5

y = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, points of intersection will be (3, 0) and (-5, 8)

What is the area of triangle ABC?
Ann [662]

Answer:

A = 3 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A  = 1/2 bh where b is the length of the base and h is the height

b = the distance from B to C = 4 units = 2  ( watch the scale)

h = the distance from A to C along the x axis =6 units = 3  (watch the scale)

A = 1/2 (2)(3)

A = 3 units^2

Find the value of x.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

74 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc degree measurement of the arc that is colored in orange is given as 254 degrees.

The remaining part is the part in green.

The green part plus the orange part should equal 360 degrees because that would make a full rotation around the circle.

360-254=106.

The green arc has measurement 106 degrees.

We can find x by computing half the difference of the arcs there.

That is,

x=\frac{1}{2}(254-106)

x=\frac{1}{2}(148)

x=74

F(x)=|3x+5|+6<br> g(x)=7<br> find (f+g) (x).
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

(f+g) (x)=\mid 3x+5\mid+13

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Operation of Functions</u>

Given:

f(x)=\mid 3x+5\mid+6

g(x)=7

The sum of (f+g) (x) is:

(f+g) (x)=\mid 3x+5\mid+6+7

We cannot operate with the expression inside the absolute bars, thus:

\boxed{(f+g) (x)=\mid 3x+5\mid+13}

The perimeters of square region S and rectangular region R are equal. If the sides of R are in the ratio 2 : 3, what is the rati
Ksivusya [100]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The ratio of the area of region R to the area of region S is:

                    \dfrac{24}{25}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The sides of R are in the ratio : 2:3

Let the length of R be: 2x

and the width of R be: 3x

i.e. The perimeter of R is given by:

Perimeter\ of\ R=2(2x+3x)

( Since, the perimeter of a rectangle with length L and breadth or width B is given by:

Perimeter=2(L+B) )

Hence, we get:

Perimeter\ of\ R=2(5x)

i.e.

Perimeter\ of\ R=10x

Also, let " s " denote the side of the square region.

We know that the perimeter of a square with side " s " is given by:

\text{Perimeter\ of\ square}=4s

Now, it is given that:

The perimeters of square region S and rectangular region R are equal.

i.e.

4s=10x\\\\i.e.\\\\s=\dfrac{10x}{4}\\\\s=\dfrac{5x}{2}

Now, we know that the area of a square is given by:

\text{Area\ of\ square}=s^2

and

\text{Area\ of\ Rectangle}=L\times B

Hence, we get:

\text{Area\ of\ square}=(\dfrac{5x}{2})^2=\dfrac{25x^2}{4}

and

\text{Area\ of\ Rectangle}=2x\times 3x

i.e.

\text{Area\ of\ Rectangle}=6x^2

Hence,

Ratio of the area of region R to the area of region S is:

=\dfrac{6x^2}{\dfrac{25x^2}{4}}\\\\=\dfrac{6x^2\times 4}{25x^2}\\\\=\dfrac{24}{25}
