Dale drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. when dale drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. if his average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does dale live from the mountains? do not do any rounding.

Answer:

Dale live 315 miles from the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the speed  of Dale to the mountains

Time taken by Dale to the mountains=7 hrs

Therefore distance covered by dale to the mountain = speed × time = 7y ......eqn 1

Time taken by Dale back home = 5hours

Since it speed increased by 18 miles per hour back home it speed = y+18

So distance traveled home =speed × time = (y+18)5 ...... eqn 2

Since distance cover is same in both the eqn 1 and eqn 2.

Eqn 1 = eqn 2

7y = (y+18)5

7y = 5y + 90

7y - 5y = 90 (collection like terms)

2y = 90

Y = 45

Substitute for y in eqn 1 to get distance away from mountain

= 7y eqn 1

= 7×45

= 315 miles.

∴ Dale leave 315 miles from the mountains

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

1.5 or -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²+7x-15=0

Divide by 2:

x²+7x/2-15/2=0

x=-7/2/2 ± √49/4(4)+15/2

  =-7/4 ± √49/16+120/16

  =-7/4± √169/16=-7/4 ±13/4

  =6/4 or -20/4

   =1.5 or -5
