The length of hours Gilbert drove is 7.5 hours.
The length of hours Brian drove is 4.1 hours.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- Gilbert averaged = 45 miles per hour
- Brain averaged = 65 miles per hour
- Total hours = 11.6 hours
- Total distance = 604 miles
Let 'x' be the hours Gilbert drove.
Let 'y' be the hours Brian drove.
x+y = 11.6 -----(1)
45x+65y = 604 -----(2)
Multiply (1) by 45 and subtract (2) from (1)
45x+45y = 522
-(<u>45x+65y = 604</u>)
<u> -20y = -82 </u>
y = 82/20
y = 4.1 hours
The length of hours Brian drove = 4.1 hours
Substitute y=4.1 in (1)
x+4.1 = 11.6
x = 7.5 hours
The length of hours Gilbert drove = 7.5 hours
The value of x in the triangle is 9.3
<h3>How to find the side x of a triangle?</h3>
The side x of a triangle can be found as follows:
The triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE.
Therefore, corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratios.
Hence,
7 / 13 = x / x + 8
cross multiply
7(x + 8) = 13x
7x + 56 = 13x
subtract 7x from both sides of the equation
7x - 7x + 56 = 13x - 7x
56 = 6x
divide both sides by 6
x = 56 / 6
x = 9.33333333333
x = 9.3

#SPJ1
Guessing that the 3 was suppose to be an exponent.
The answer written in standard form is :
4x^3 + 10x - 4
This is called a cubic trinomial.
i believe it would be -19/48
