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

In the figure above, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. Let x represent the measure of angle GBF, y represent the measure of
ira [324]
Answers:
measure angle x = 40°
measure angle y = 35°
measure angle z = 55°

Explanation:
Part (a): getting angle x:
In triangle BED, we have:
measure angle BED = 90°
measure angle BDE = 50°
Therefore:
measure angle DBE = 180 - (90+50) = 40°
Now, we have angle DBE and angle GBF vertically opposite angles.
This means that they are both equal. Therefore angle GBF = 40°
Since angle GBF is x, therefore:
x = 40°

Part (b): getting angle y:
We know that the sum of measures of angles on a straight line is 180.
This means that:
angle GBF + angle GBC + angle CBE = 180
We have:
angle GBF = 40°
angle GBC = 105°
angle CBE = y
Therefore:
40 + 105 + y = 180
y = 35°

Part (c): getting angle z:
In triangle BCE, we have:
measure angle BCE = z
measure angle BEC = 90°
measure angle CBE = 35°
Therefore:
z + 90 + 35 = 180
z = 55°

Hope this helps :)

There are 9 lions there are fewer cubs than lions how many fewer cubs are there ?
Aleks04 [339]

Number of cubs are less than 9.

In Algebra, an inequality is a mathematical statement that uses the inequality symbol to illustrate the relationship between two expressions. An inequality symbol has non-equal expressions on both sides. It indicates that the phrase on the left should be bigger or smaller than the expression on the right, or vice versa. Literal inequalities are relationships between two algebraic expressions that are expressed using the inequality symbols.

NO. OF LIONS = 9

Cubs are fewer than 9

mart [117]

Answer:

4^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

So given sequence is a geometric sequence where terms increase or decrease by a constant common ratio(r)

Formula to find terms in Geometric sequence is " ar^n-1 where a is first term , r is common ratio and n is number of items

In this case , first term (a) is 1 , common ratio(r) is succeeding term/preceding term = 4/1 = 4 and number of items be (n).

Applying "ar^n-1 " we get,

1*4^n-1 which is , 4^n-1

Thats the formula which represents the situation....
