Using proportions, it is found that:
- Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
- MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.
---------------------------
- Peter is walking at a rate of x km/h.
- MJ is biking 6 km/h faster than Peter, thus 6 + x km/h.
- Opposite directions, thus, their distance increases at a rate of (6 + 2x) km each hour, as
.
6 + 2x km each hour, 18 km after 1.5 hours, thus, the rule of three is:
1h - (6 + 2x) km
1.5h - 18 km
Applying cross multiplication:
Then:
- Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
- MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.
A similar problem is given at brainly.com/question/24112433
12/3 = x/8
Cross multiply
3x = 96
Eliminate
3x/3 = 96/3
x = 32
51. I checked the comments but I still didn't understand it, sorry :/
54.
(43+45+47+49)=184
They are all odd and they are in consecutive order (one after another)
That's my answer Brainliest me!
Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.
To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.
You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45
Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.
