Answer: He actually rode 2 miles per hour on his trip

Step-by-step explanation: Maybe unconventional, but express the time it took, then figure the speed.

Time  = distance /speed  t will represent time, s is the speed:  t = 30/s Use the rime it would have taken at the higher speed to create an equation:

t-12 = 30/s+8   replace the y with the 30/s

30/s -12 = 30/s+8

(s)(30/s -12 ) = (s)(30/s+8 )  Cross multiply to cancel denominators  

(s-8)(30 -12s) = (s-8)(30s/s+8 ) ==> 30s +240 -12s² -96s =30s   Simplify:  

(-1)(-12s² -96s +240 ) =0 ==>  12s² +96s -240  divide all by 12

s² + 8s -20 = 0   Factor and solve for s

(s +10)(s -2) =0    s-2=0   S= 2  

Proof:

30/2 = 15 hours for original trip at 2mph,  

increase speed by 8mph   2 + 8 = 10mph

30 miles at 10mph takes 3 hours; that is 12 hours less than his actual trip.

(Brainilest, please :-)

Point K is on line JL. given JL =4x, JK= 2x+3, and KL=x, determine the numerical length of kl​
balandron [24]

Hi! I'm happy to help!

Our total line is JL (4x), and it is split into two parts: JK, and KL. We have our values, and we know that JK+KL=JL, so we can substitute our values and solve for x:

4x=(2x+3)+(x)

4x=3x+3

To solve for x, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, let's subtract 3x from both sides so that we can isolate x:

4x=3x+3

-3x -3x

x=3

<u>So, our x=3, which means that KL=3.</u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Must show all work for 15 points
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Hey there!

a)

10x-1=4x+2

6x-1=2

6x=3

x=1/2 cm.

10x-1=4 cm.

So the width of the rectangle is 10/4, or 2.5 cm.

b)

l=3w

2l+2w=24

2(3w)+2w=24

6w+2w=24

8w=24

w=3

l=9

The are is 27 units squared.

Let me know if this helps :)
