Answer:
x = 2 and y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have
x+2y = 8 -----equation (i)
2x-y = 1 -----equation (ii)
Now,
x+2y = 8
or, x = 8-2y ------equation (iii)
Again,
2x-y = 1
or, 2x = 1+y
or, 2x-1 = y
Putting the value of 'x' from equation (iii)
or, 2(8-2y)-1 = y
or, 16-4y-1 = y
or, 16-1 = y+4y
or, 15 = 5y
or, y = 15/5
or, y = 3
Putting the value of 'y' in equation (iii)
x = 8-2y
or, x = 8-(2×3)
or, x = 8-6
or, x = 2
Therefore, x = 2 and y = 3.
He can run 5 miles per hour
Ts temperature as a function of time is given by T(t)=a(1-e^kt)+b
the values of a and b area = 50 Fb = 350 F
this is very evident to equation the b is the initial temperatre of the oven which is 350 F
and also a is the initial temperature of the potato because it is the term multiplied by the exponent term which will indicate the temperature increasse of the potato
Answer:
30 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
time = distance/speed
If x represents Jane's speed along the summit then her total exploration time is ...
12/x + 40/(x -5) = 2 . . . . . hours
Multiplying by (x)(x -5), we get ...
12(x -5) +40(x) = 2(x)(x -5)
Dividing by 2 and subtracting the left side gives ...
x^2 -31x +30 = 0
(x -30)(x -1) = 0 . . . . . factor
Solutions are x = 30 and x = 1, values of x that make the factors zero. A speed of 1 mph makes no sense in this problem, so ...
Jane's speed along the summit was 30 mph.
