Distance = rate * time

Let r = rate

 

Distance is the same for both runs,  so:

.5r = D =  3/4(r - 2)

 

Distribute (and convert .5):

2/4r = 3/4r - 3/2

 

Subtract 3/4 r from both sides:

-1/4r = -3/2

 

Multiply both sides by -4 to get a solitary r:

r = -3 * -4 / 2

r = 3 * 2

r = 6 miles per hour

 

.5 hours * 6 mi/hr = 3 miles

 

check:

6 - 2 = 4

3/4 hours * 4 mi/hr = 3 miles

Answer: 3

Explanation:

It is useful to summarise the information in the form of a table with columns for distance, speed and time.

Remember if you know two of these, you can write an expression or answer for the third one.

s = d/t and t = d/s and d = s × t

We have that the speed on Monday was x miles per hour and the time, 1/2 an hour. We can find the distance as x × 1/2

Show this on the table and then complete it for Tuesday as well.

Distance Speed Time
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Monday 1/2 x x 1/2
Tuesday 1/2 x (x-2) 3/4

The speed on Tuesday can be given in two ways:

It is the same as on Monday (1/2 x) or as s × t

Form an equation: 3/4 (x-2) = 1/2 x

4 x 3/4 (x-2) = 4 x 1/2 x ← x 4

3 (x-2) = 2x

3x - 6 = 2x

x = 6 ← this was the speed on Monday.

The distance run on Monday was 1/2 x 6 = 3 miles

A rectangle has a height of 6k3 and a width of 2k2 + 4k +5.
Trava [24]

Answer: 12k^5+24k^4+30k^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The height of the rectangle = 6k^3

The width of the rectangle = 2k^2+4k+5

Formula : Area = height x width

Therefore , the area of triangle in terms of polynomial will be :

6k^3\times( 2k^2+4k+5)\\\\= 6k^3(2k^2)+6k^3(4k)+6k^3(5)\ \ [\text{Using Distributive property}]\\\\=12k^{3+2}+24k^{3+1}+30k^3\ \ [\text{Using exponents rule}:\ a^n\times a^m=a^{n+m}]\\\\=12k^5+24k^4+30k^3

Hence, the area of the entire rectangle =12k^5+24k^4+30k^3

Solve for x in the diagram below.
kogti [31]

Answer:

x=75

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is 180° in total and the equation was (2x+30)° if you subtract 30 from 180 you get 150 if you divide that by 2 you get 75.

Answer: 2(75) + 30° =180°

Identify whether the series is a convergent or divergent geometric series and find the sum, if possible. A) This is a convergent
Darya [45]
A divergent series is a type of series in which the ratio is too large and the summation is held from one to infinity. Hence, the sum could not be found out. A convergent series, on the other hand, has a definite answer because one could be the ratio is small and the lower and upper limits are defined not equal to infinity either positive or negative.
