1)Sheyna drive to the lake and back. It took two hours less time to get there than it did to get back. The average speed on the

ipn [44]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sheyna drives to the lake with average speed of 60 mph and

$v_1 = 60\ mph$

Sheyna drives back from the lake with average speed of 36 mph

$v_2 = 36\ mph$

It took 2 hours less time to get there than it did to get back.

Let $t_1$ be the time taken to drive to lake.

Let $t_2$ be the time taken to drive back from lake.

$t_2-t_1 = 2$ hrs ..... (1)

To find:

Total time taken = ?

$t_1+t_2 = ?$

Solution:

Let D be the distance to lake.

Formula for time is given as:

$Time =\dfrac{Distance}{Speed }$

$t_1 = \dfrac{D}{60}\ hrs$

$t_2 = \dfrac{D}{36}\ hrs$

Putting in equation (1):

$\dfrac{D}{36}-\dfrac{D}{60} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5D-3D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow D = 180\ miles$

So,

$t_1 = \dfrac{180}{60}\ hrs = 3 \ hrs$

$t_2 = \dfrac{180}{36}\ hrs = 5\ hrs$

So, the answer is:

$t_1+t_2 = \bold{8\ hrs}$

Please Help I will give out brainliest

Answer:

when y=1 then x=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is provided.

The equation y=4x-1 can be graphed by first graphing the -1 which is the y-intercept in the y=mx+b form. 4=m that is our slope. you can find the lines second point by moving 4 up and 1 to the right. rise/run =4/1. So when you move 4 up and 1 right you get another point on the line (1,3).

You can find out x=0.5 when y=1 by just tracing your finger over the graph and the point when y equals 1 the line intercepts x=0.5. Another screenshot is given.

I hope this helps!

The area of a rectangle is 27 m^2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3 m less than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the

vagabundo [1.1K]

Let $L$ be the length of the rectangle and $W$ be the width. In the problem it is given that $L=2W-3$ . It is also given that the area $LW=27$ . Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have $W(2W-3)=27 \\ 2W^2-3W-27=0 \\ (2W-9)(W+3)=0$ . Using the zero product property, $2W-9=0 \text{ or } W+3=0$ . Solving these we get the width $W=4.5 \text{ or } -3$ . However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be $\boxed{4.5 \text{ m}}$ . From that we can tell the length $L=2(4.5)-3=\boxed{6 \text{ m}}$ .
