Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of 8 hours, the car and truck were 1048 miles apart. So they were traveling 1048/8 = 131 miles per hour apart.

The car traveled 19 miles per hour faster than the truck. So car speed = truck speed + 19

Substituting, truck speed + truck speed + 19 = 131

2x truck speed = 112

Truck speed = 56 miles per hour

Car speed = 56 + 19 = 75 miles per hour

Truck speed be x
car travel at x+19
they travel in opposite directions
so the separation is (x+x+19) * no. of hours
1048 = (2x+19)*8
x = ((1048/8) - 19)/2
=56

truck speed is 56 miles per hour
car speed is 56+19 = 75 miles per hour

what is the volume of the rectangular prisms with a length of 1 5/8, a width of 3/8, and a height of 3in
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

To find the volume of a cube one must multiply all three dimensions together. Here we know two of the dimensions and the volume but not the third dimension. First I multipl together to two known dimensions: 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8. Next I divide the volume by this answer by using the reciprocal of 3/8 and multipling. 21/32 x 8/3 = 7/4 by cancelling the 32 with the 8 and the 21 with the 3. Now 7/4 must be changed into a mixed number. Divide the numerator by the denominator and write the remainder as a fraction. 7/4 = 1 3/4.

What method would you choose to solve the equation 2x2 – 7 = 9? Explain why you chose this method.
Kisachek [45]
<span>This is a quadratic equation . We order to equate to zero

</span>2x²<span> – 7 = 9  
 </span>
2x² - 7-9 = 0
2x² - 16 = 0

This equation is a binomial
2* (x² - 8) = 0
<span>We choose the simplest method . The equation with practice it can be calculated in the memory
</span><span>
The product is equal to 0 if one of the factors is zero
</span>
2≠0  ∨     x² - 8 = 0
               x² = √8
               x = √8     ∨  x= - √8

Answer : x = √8 ∨ x = -√8

How to graph 2y-10x=20
aksik [14]
First, put it into slope/intercept form so you can see what you've got.

"Slope/intercept form" is    <em>  y = everything else</em>  .

So that means you have to take the equation you have and "solve it for 'y' ".

<u>2y - 10x = 20</u>

Add  10x  to each side:        2y = 10x + 20

Divide each side by  2 :       <em> y  =  5x  +  10</em>

There it is. 
Now that you have it in that form, you can just look at it and see that the
slope of the line on the graph is  5, and the line crosses the y-axis at 10.

And that's exactly the information you need to graph it.  On your graph,
mark a little dot on the y-axis at  10, and draw a line through that dot
with a slope of  5.
