Lois rode her bike to visit a friend. She traveled at 10 mi/h. While she was there, it began to rain. Her friend drove her home

in a car traveling at 25 mi/h. Lois took 1.5 h longer to go to her friend’s than to return home. How many hours did it take Lois to ride to her friend’s house?

Answer:

distance(d)=rate(r) times time(t) or d=rt; r=d/t and t=d/r

Let t=time it took Lois to ride home in the car

Then (t+1.5)=time it took Lois to bike to her friends

(1) distance she travelled on a bike=rt=10*(t+1.5)

(2) distance she travelled back in the car=25*t

Now we know that (1)distance going=(2)distance coming back in the car. So:

10(t+1.5)=25t get rid of parens

10t+15=25t subtract 10t from both sides

10t-10t+15=25t-10t collect like terms

15=15t divide both sides by 15

t=1 hour time it took to ride home in the car

t+1.5=1+1.5=2.5 hrs-------------------------time it took biking to her friends

6. Solve by factoring: 2x²-11x+14=0
Mariana [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 2x^2-11x+14=0 give me 2 ways to get the 2 values of x?

The first way is to make factors by middle-term splitting. You get (x-2)(2x-7)=0, so the solution is x=2,7/2.

The other way is to use the formula for the solution of roots. Roots= (-b+ rootD)/2a, (-b-rootD)/2a, if the equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c=0. Here D is the discriminant. D=b^2-4ac

How do I solve 12x^2+11x+2=0?

Solve for x. 5x3−2x2−47x−14=0?

How can I prove that x^2+2x+2=0?

Is the sequence X^2 + 2x -2 =0?

What are the steps to solve 2^(2x)-3(2^x) +2=0?

Lets assume your equation is of the form ax^2+ bx + c =0

First method :

By breaking 'b' factor of x into two parts using factors of 'ac' ( a *c)

like 2* 14 = 28 = 7* 4 ( b is 11 which could be splitted in values 7 and 4)

equation becomes 2x^2 -4x-7x+14 = 0

take out common factors 2x(x-2) -7 (x-2) = 0

which is (2x-7) (x-2) =0 ; x =2,7/2 are two values

Second method:

make equation in the form of (x+h)^ 2 - k = 0 ; then x+h = +sqrt(k) and -sqrt(k)

which will give x as -h+sqrt(k) , +sqrt(k)

2x^2 - 11x +14 =0 wil become x^2 -11/2 x + 7 = 0

which is (x-11/4)^2 + 7- 121/16 =0

(x-11/4)^2 = (121/16) - 7 = 9/16

x- 11/4 = 3/4 and -3/4

x = 14/4 and 8/4 = 7/2 and 2

Bill can hit a bucket of 323 gold balls in 17 hours.
yanalaym [24]
It is important to clearly understand all the important information's already given in the question. Based on those details the answer to the question can be easily determined.
In 17 hours the number of golf balls hit by Bill = 323
Then
In 1 hour the number of golf balls hit by Bill = (323/17) * 1
                                                                     = 19
So
The number of golf balls hit by Bill in 23 hours = 23 * 19
                                                                          = 437
So 437 balls will be hit by Bill in 23 hours. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. This procedure will help you to solve similar problems in future without requiring any outside help.

Please HELP
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The room is square. This is because it says "diagonal of the floor..." Which means it is from one corner of the room to the opposite end.

Step-by-step explanation:

It says "four wall room" which means it is a square. It also states that each wall meet at a right angle. To through you off this question stated the word 'diagonal' to mess with you when reading this question quickly. If you look more detailed and I like to re-read sentences in order to recognize all the information given. So the Room IS a Square.
