The girl walked a distance of $\boxed{{\mathbf{5 miles}}}$ in her way.

Further explanation:

The time can be calculated as,

${\text{ time}}=\frac{{{\text{distance}}}}{{{\text{speed}}}}$

Given:

It is given that a girl stands 20 miles away from the school at $6:50{\text{ am}}$ and she started walking at the rate of $3{\text{ mi/hr}}$ and then after some time her dad pick up and he drives at the rate of $30{\text{ mi/hr}}$ . They reach the school at $9:00{\text{ am}}$ .

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

Consider $x$ as the distance she walked in her way.

The speed of the girl when she walked is $3{\text{ mi/hr}}$ .

Now use the formula of time to obtain the walk time.

$\begin{gathered}{\text{ walktime}}=\frac{{{\text{distance walked}}}}{{{\text{walking speed}}}}\hfill\\{\text{ walktime}}=\frac{x}{3}\hfill\\\end{gathered}$

Since the total distance is $20{\text{ miles}}$ .

Then consider $20-x$ as the distance driven by the car.

The driving speed is $30{\text{ mi/hr}}$ .

Now use the formula of time to obtain the drive time.

$\begin{gathered}{\text{drive time}}=\frac{{{\text{distance travelled by car }}}}{{{\text{ speed of car}}}}\hfill\\{\text{drive time}}=\frac{{20-x}}{{30}} \hfill\\\end{gathered}$

Step 2:

Now we calculate the total time took by girl to reach the school.

$9:00-6:50={\text{2 hrs 10 min}}$

Now convert the timing into hours as,

$\begin{aligned}2{\text{ hours 10 minutes}}&=2+\frac{{10}}{{60}}\\&=2\frac{1}{6}\\&=\frac{{13}}{6}{\text{ hrs}}\\\end{aligned}$

Step 3:

Total time is the sum of drive time and walk time.

The total time can be expressed as,

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{{20-x}}{{30}}=\frac{{13}}{6}$

Now solve the above equation by cross multiply method.

$\begin{aligned}\frac{x}{3}+\frac{{20-x}}{{30}}&=\frac{{13}}{6}\hfill\\\frac{{10x+20-x}}{{30}}&=\frac{{13}}{6}\hfill\\\frac{{9x+20}}{{30}}&=\frac{{13}}{6}\hfill\\6\left({9x+20}\right)&=13\left({30}\right)\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Now simplify the further equation.

$\begin{aligned}6\left({9x+20}\right)&=13\left({30}\right)\hfill\\54x+120&=390\hfill\\54x&=390-120\hfill\\54x&=270\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Simplify the further equation.

$\begin{aligned}54x&=270\hfill\\x&=\frac{{270}}{{54}}\hfill\\x&=\frac{{45}}{9}\hfill\\x&=5\hfill\\\end{gathered}$

Therefore, the girl walked 5 miles.

The vanishing point of the picture is represented by point B.

Semenov [28]

A) Angles ABD and CBD are supplementary, so you have ...
∠ABD + ∠CBD = 180°
6.2(∠CBD) + ∠CBD = 180°
7.2(∠CBD) = 180°
∠CBD = 180°/7.2
∠CBD = 25°

B) Angles EBD and CBD are complementary, so you have ...
∠FBE = ∠EBD = 90° - ∠CBD
∠FBE = 90° - 25°
∠FBE = 65°

Can someone please explain to me how I'm supposed to solve 2x+y=12? Like step by step solving?

Ne4ueva [31]

Well, first put the function in slop-intercept form (y = mx + b). 2x + y = 12, y - 2x = 12 - 2x, y = -2x + 12. So y = -2x + 12 is the slope-intercept form. Then graph the function to solve for all possible solutions to the function. In y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. In y = -2x + 12, m equals -2, so the slope is -2, and b equals 12, so 12 is the y intercept. Make a point on the y intercept at y = 12. The slope is -2, or -2/1. The graph will be sloping downward. From the point at y = 12, move down two units and to the right one unit and make another point. Then from this new point move down two units and to the right one unit and make another point, and so on. Then to extend the graph in the other direction, start at the point y = 12 and move two units up and one unit to the right and make a point there. Then from this new point move two units up and one unit to the right and make another point there, and so on.
