Speed=distance / time; ⇒distance=speed *  time
Distance traveled by Ricardo
Distance (Ricardo)= (3 ft / s) * 15s+3 ft/s * time=45 ft+3 ft/s*t=45+3t

Distance traveled by John:
Distance(John)=(4 ft/s) * time=4t

Distance traveled by Ricardo=Distance traveled by John
3t+45=4t

Answer: D.  3t+45=4t

Prove 1 and 3 are supplementary
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Also question is, can 3 angles be supplementary? Remember, only a pair of angles can be supplementary. Sure, the three angles in a triangle may add up to 180 degrees, but there are three angles in a triangle, so they are not supplementary!

Find all roots.<br> 11) x^3 + 6x² + 5x = 0
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

x=0

x=-1

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the roots, we set the equation equal to zero and factor.

x(x²+6x+5)=0           [factor]

x(x+1)(x+5)=0            [set each factor equal to 0]

x=0

x+1=0                       [subtract both sides by 1]

x=-1

x+5=0                      [subtract both sides by 5]

x=-5

Now, we have found three roots, x=0, x=-1, x=-5.
