The speed of one car is 'S'.  The speed of the other car is (S + 10).

In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels  5(S + 10) miles.

Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.

500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)

500 = 5S  +  5S + 50

500 = 10S + 50

Subtract 50 from each side:

450 = 10S

Divide each side by 10

S = <u>45</u>

S + 10 = <u>55</u>

Composite figure is made up of 4 triangles and a square.

Area of Square = Length x Length 
Area of Square = 12 x 12
Area of Square= 144 cm²

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area of triangle  = 1/2 x 12 x 8 
Area of triangle  = 48 cm²

Area of 4 Triangles = 48 x 4
Area of 4 Triangles = 192 cm²

Total Area = 144 + 192 = 336 cm² 

\Longrightarrow \boxed { \boxed { Answer : 336 cm^{2} }}

A store advertises 15% off an item that regularly sells $300. How is a 15% discount similar to a 15% decrease? Explain.
Kobotan [32]
Both a discount and decrease will make the cost the same which is $225 for the object. I think that's what your asking. I'm sorry if it is not that helpful.

Alright, we're in the home stretch here :) All you need to remember is that i² = -1. Otherwise, it is the same as FOIL


(3-2i)(1+7i)

3-2i+21i-14i² ← Replace the i² with -1, then simplify like numbers

3+19i+14

17+19i or C
