Answer:
(4, 9) and (-10, -8)
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to write two equation:
'substract 22 from a number'
and:
'the result is doubled, the answer is 6 more than the original number'
then you change 'Y' in 2nd equation for left side of 1st equation:
count it and you get:
This means that X=50
The original number is 50.
Distance = speed x time
Distance travelled by car A when car B started = 60 x 2 = 120 miles
Number of miles remaining at the time car B started = 400 - 120 = 280 miles.
At time of their meeting both cars has travelled a combined distance of 280 miles and has spent the same time.
Let t be the time they travelled together before they meet, then the sum of the distance travelled by car A and car B is 280miles.
60t + 80t = 280
140t = 280
t = 280/140 = 2 hours
After 2 hours car A has travelled a further 60 x 2 = 120 miles and car B has travelled 80 x 2 = 160 miles.
Total distance travelled be car A is 120 + 120 = 240 miles
Midpoint of the journey = 400/2 = 200 miles
Therefre, at the time they met, the were 40 miles from the midpoint and they are close to San Francisco.
Answer:
Aaron Burr wasn't a brilliant politician.
Step-by-step explanation:
Aaron Burr was an American politician and the third Vice President of the United States from 1801 to 1805. In 1800, he ran for the Democratic-Republicans with Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was supposed to be president and Burr vice president, but the then presidential election rules gave Jefferson and Burr equal votes in the Electoral College, and the election was ultimately decided in the House of Representatives. There, it were Jefferson and Burr's political rivals, the Federalists, who made the difference. Alexander Hamilton, the leader of the Federalists, eventually urged his party to back Jefferson, which helped make Hamilton and Burr deadly rivals. Burr had to settle for vice president under Jefferson.
On July 11, 1804, Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel in which Burr would fire the deadly shot. Burr was charged with murder in two states, but never prosecuted. After a short flight south, Burr returned to Washington to serve his term as vice president.
After his term, Burr was suspected of involvement in a plot to create a separate republic in the then Southwestern US, headed by himself. For this he was arrested in 1807. He was tried for treason but was acquitted. After a stay abroad, Burr returned to New York in 1812 and resumed his career as a lawyer. He died in 1836 at the age of eighty and was buried in Princeton, New Jersey.
