Samuel was going with 40 km/h and Heather was going with 37 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at the same point at the same time, Samuel and Heather rode their bikes in the same direction

  • Samuel traveled 3 km/h faster than Heather
  • After 3.5 h Samuel stopped for a half-hour break, but Heather kept going
  • Heather was 8 km ahead of Samuel

We need to find how fast each was going

Assume that Heather's speed is x km/h

∵ Heather's speed = x km/h

∵ Samuel traveled 3 km/h faster than Heather

∴ Samuel's speed = x + 3 km/h

The formula of the distance is distance = speed × time

∵ Samuel travel for 3.5 hours

- Find the distance that Samuel traveled in 3.5 h

∴ Samuel distance = (x + 3) × 3.5

- Multiply the bracket by 3.5 to simplify

∴ Samuel distance = 3.5x + 10.5

∵ Samuel took a break for half hour

∵ Heather kept going

∵ At the end of the break, Heather was 8 km ahead of Samuel

- That means Heather was going for 4 hours (3.5 + 0.5), and her

   distance is longer than Samuel distance by 8 km

∴ Heather distance = x × 4 = 4x

- Subtract the distance of Samuel from the distance of Heather

   and equate the difference by 8

∵ 4x - (3x + 10.5) = 8

∴ 4x - 3x - 10.5 = 8

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ 0.5x - 10.5 = 8

- Add 10.5 to both sides

∴ 0.5x = 18.5

- Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ x = 37

∵ x represents Heather's speed

∴ Heather's speed = 37 km/h

∵ x + 3 represents Samuel's speed

∴ Samuel's speed = 37 + 3 = 40 km/h

Samuel was going with 40 km/h and Heather was going with 37 km/h

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER !
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

The second and 3rd one can be modeled by by y = 100/x but the first one and the fourth one do not follow that, so the answer is neither. The first and fourth are y = 80/x

Put the values in and you will see the equations for yourself.

One

y = 80/2

y = 40

The 80 came from looking at this as an indirect variation. y = k/x

y = 40

x = 2

y = k/x

40 = k/2  Multiply both sides by 2

40 * 2 = k

k = 80

Two

y = k/x

20 = k/5

k = 20 * 5

k = 100

Solve the following question
White raven [17]

Answer:

g) u^{4}\cdot v^{-1}\cdot z^{3}, h) \frac{(x+4)\cdot (x+2)}{3\cdot (x-5)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed to solve each equation by algebraic means:

g) \frac{u^{5}\cdot v}{z}\div  \frac{u\cdot v^{2}}{z^{4}}

1) \frac{u^{5}\cdot v}{z}\div  \frac{u\cdot v^{2}}{z^{4}} Given

2) \frac{\frac{u^{5}\cdot v}{z} }{\frac{u\cdot v^{2}}{z^{4}} } Definition of division

3) \frac{u^{5}\cdot v\cdot z^{4}}{u\cdot v^{2}\cdot z}   \frac{\frac{a}{b} }{\frac{c}{d} } = \frac{a\cdot d}{b\cdot c}

4) \left(\frac{u^{5}}{u} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{v}{v^{2}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{z^{4}}{z} \right)  Associative property

5) u^{4}\cdot v^{-1}\cdot z^{3}   \frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}} = a^{m-n}/Result

h) \frac{x^{2}-16}{x^{2}-10\cdot x + 25} \div \frac{3\cdot x - 12}{x^{2}-3\cdot x -10}

1) \frac{x^{2}-16}{x^{2}-10\cdot x + 25} \div \frac{3\cdot x - 12}{x^{2}-3\cdot x -10} Given

2) \frac{\frac{x^{2}-16}{x^{2}-10\cdot x+25} }{\frac{3\cdot x - 12}{x^{2}-3\cdot x - 10} } Definition of division

3) \frac{(x^{2}-16)\cdot (x^{2}-3\cdot x -10)}{(x^{2}-10\cdot x + 25)\cdot (3\cdot x - 12)}  \frac{\frac{a}{b} }{\frac{c}{d} } = \frac{a\cdot d}{b\cdot c}

4) \frac{(x+4)\cdot (x-4)\cdot (x-5)\cdot (x+2)}{3\cdot (x-5)^{2}\cdot (x-4) } Factorization/Distributive property

5) \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)\cdot (x+4)\cdot (x+2)\cdot \left(\frac{x-4}{x-4} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{x-5}{(x-5)^{2}} \right] Modulative and commutative properties/Associative property

6) \frac{(x+4)\cdot (x+2)}{3\cdot (x-5)}  \frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}} = a^{m-n}/\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a\cdot c}{b\cdot d}/Definition of division/Result
