Maybe i have that you wanted We can represent the situation like that: Y=-15 and x=-20 Then When y=12 x=? We make x(The unknown) *-15=12*(-20) We have an simple équation to solve Thus x=(12*(-20))/-15 X=16

X1= -20
x2= x2
y1= -15
y2= 12

x1  : x2 ::  y1 : y2
-20 : x   :: -15: 12

Means = x and -15
Extremes= -20 and 12

<span>Product of mean = Product of extremes
</span>       -15x = -20*12
            x = -240/-15
            x2 = 16

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Greta starts at mile marker S on a bike trail and is biking at a speed of 12 miles per hour. If she biked for x hours:

Distance covered = 12 mph * x = 12x miles

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

n = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of n is \sqrt{n + 5} - \sqrt{n - 10} = 1 and we have to solve it for n.

\sqrt{n + 5} - \sqrt{n - 10} = 1 ........... (1)

⇒ \frac{(n + 5) - (n - 10)}{\sqrt{n + 5} + \sqrt{n - 10}} = 1  

{Rationalizing the numerator}

⇒ \sqrt{n + 5} + \sqrt{n - 10} = 15 .............. (2)

Now, adding (1) and (2) we get

2\sqrt{n + 5} = 16

⇒ n + 5 = 64 {Squaring both sides}

⇒ n = 59 (Answer)
