Answer:

580 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of the walking tour is = 1 mile

Step 1

We have to convert 1 mile to yards

Therefore ,

1 mile = 1760 yards

Step 2

We are told that the group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

The second step would be to find out how many yards is equal to half the distance of the tour.

Half the distance of the tour = 1/2 of a mile

And in step 1 we have converted whole distance of the tour to yards

= 1 mile = 1760 yards.

Hence, Half the distance of the tour = 1760 yards ÷ 2

= 880 yards.

Step 3

The group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

This means mathematically,

Half the distance of the tour - 300 yards

= 880 yards - 300 yards

= 580 yards.

Therefore, the detour was 580 yards long.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first answer a, is not a linear function because of the first term, 2√(x), this is basically 2(x^(1/2)) which means that it is not linear

B is linear because there are no exponents in any of the variables.

C is not linear because it forms a circle when graphed

D is linear because there are no exponents in any of the variables.

E is linear because there are no exponents in angy of the variables.

F is linear because there are no exponents in any of the variables.

G is not linear because it is a quadratic equation.

Could somebody please help me find the answers for 'x' for these pictures?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

(in order) #1

for the first one you have a vertical angle. Vertical angle is basically any 2 lines who intersect each other. The opposite sides will be congruent.

So in this case

2x+8 and 110 are oppostie sides.

2x+8=110

Which is x= 51

#2

For the second one you have supplementray angles

Now for supplementary angles its basically 2 angles added up that form a straight line And 180 degress is always the measure of a straight line. SO in this case we do

9x+12x+75=180

Which is x=5

#3

This is also a vertical angle pair and their congruent just like #1

So 5x+5=65

x=12
