From the equation, it looks like we can set up a triangle like this. One side is x and the other is x + 20 because the northbound car traveled 20 miles farther. The hypotenuse is 100 because they were 100 miles apart.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x + 20)² = 100²
This simplifies to:
x² + x² + 40x + 400 = 10000
2x² + 40x = 9600
2x² + 40x - 9600 = 0
After that, we can divided each side by 2:
x² + 20x - 4800 = 0
Next, we have to factor:
(x - 60)(x + 80) = 0
x = 60, -80
Since we know that distance can't be negative, 60 is the valid answer in this case.
x = 60
x + 20 = 80
Using this information, we know that the westbound car traveled 60 miles and the northbound car traveled 80 miles.
Answer:
I am pretty sure the answer would be $107.31. Sorry if I'm wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you take the total of the 3 DVD's (45.99) and you divide that by 3 (number of DVD's) to get 15.33 which is called the unit price. Then, you take your unit price and multiply that by how many items you are going to buy.
45.99 / 3 = 15.33
15.33 x 7 = 107.31

Answer:4.375
Step-by-step explanation:
We keep the 2x^2 because we can only subtract something from that if it also is squared. From there, we subtract the 7x from 2x^2-11. Since there is no previous x's in the 2x^2-11, we just make it -7x. So, without even continuing the problem, we see that A) is the correct answer because it is the only one with -7x.
