Jacob decided to ride his bicycle across the country during his 2-month summer vacation. the route he took from washington, dc t

Artist 52 [7]

Step 1: Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find.

Let ' x ' be the number of miles traveled by Jacob so far (His distance from starting point)

Step 2: Use the sentence given to set up an equation

Sentence 1: "His distance from his starting point was exactly 100 miles more than three times the distance remaining until the finishing point"

Total distance is 2800 miles, if his distance from the starting point is 'x', then remaining distance can be represented by 2800 - x.

Using the sentence we can write the below equation...

$x = 100 + 3(2800 - x)$

Distributing 3 in the right side of the equation, we get...

$x = 100 + 8400 - 3x$

Adding 3x on both sides of the equation, we get...

$x+3x = 8500$

Combine like terms in the left side of the equation, we get...

$4x=8500$

Dividing 4 on both sides of the equation, we get...

$\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{8500}{4}$

Simplifying the fraction on either side of the equation, we get...

$x=2125miles$

Conclusion:

Out of the 2800 miles, Jacob travelled a distance of 2125 miles and remaining miles that he need to cover will be <u>675 miles</u>.

Tell whether the lines through the given points are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The Slope of Line 1 is -> $-\frac{2}{9}$

The Slope of Line 2 is -> $-\frac{9}{2}$

These two lines are - > Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of line one, you follow these steps:

First Coordinate 10 -> x1, 5 -> y1

Second Coordinate -8 -> x2, 9 -> y2

Then insert the assigned values into this equation: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ -> $\frac{9-5}{-8-10}$ which equals $\frac{4}{-18}$ which simplifies to $-\frac{2}{9}$

Then do the same process to find the slop of line 2:

First Coord: 2 -> x1, -4 -> y1

Second Coord: 11 -> x2, -6 -> y2

Then insert the values into this equation: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ -> $\frac{11-2}{-6-(-4)}$ which equals $\frac{9}{-2}$ .

We know the lines are perpendicular by:

a. Typing the equations of the lines into a graphing calculator and observing the graph

b. Looking at the slopes. By looking at the slopes, we see that the slope of line 1 is the reciprocal of line 2, and vice versa. Since reciprocal slopes indicate perpendicular lines, the lines 1 and 2 are perpendicular to each other.

Hope this helps!

The British Queen is to receive 4 foreign dignitaries. The digni- taries are sensitive to the order in which they are received.

Answer:

Number of Ways = ₄P₄ = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are going to be 4 dignitaries, and that they are sensitive to the order (i.e the order of the dignitaries matter), hence the total number of ways they can be arranged can be found by permutating 4 dignitaries.

i.e

Number of Ways = ₄P₄ = 24

Melanie walked 2.2 miles. Cathy walked 1.75 times as far. This means that you need to do 2.2 * 1.75 which equals 3.85. To find how much further, do 3.85 - 2.2 which equals 1.65. Therefore Cathy walked 1.65 more miles than Melanie.
