Answer:

B. 19 min 15 sec

B. 13 min 25 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Door 1 opens every 1 min 45 sec, or 105 sec.

Door 2 opens every 1 min 10 sec, or 70 sec.

Door 3 opens every 2 min 55 sec, or 175 sec.

Door 4 opens every 2 min 20 sec, or 140 sec.

Door 5 opens every 35 sec.

The greatest common factor is 35 seconds, so we can measure the time in units of 35 seconds.

Door 1 opens every 3 units.

Door 2 opens every 2 units.

Door 3 opens every 5 units.

Door 4 opens every 4 units.

Door 5 opens every 1 unit.

The least common multiple of 3, 2, 5, 4, and 1, is 60.  So every 60 units, all five doors will open, and the guard will look down the corridor to check on the prisoner.  Douglas must escape before this time.

In order to escape in the shortest time possible, Douglas should time his escape so that each door opens 1 unit after the door before it.  It takes Douglas 20 seconds to move from one door to another, so he will have enough time to get to the next door before it opens.

Let's say Douglas starts moving when Door 1 opens for the nth time.  In other words, 3n units have passed before he starts moving.  That means Door 2 should open after 3n + 1 units.  Door 3 should open after 3n + 2 units.  Door 4 should open after 3n + 3 units.  And Door 5 should open after 3n + 4 units.

Since Door 2 opens every 2 units, 3n + 1 should be a multiple of 2.

Since Door 3 opens every 5 units, 3n + 2 should be a multiple of 5.

Since Door 4 opens every 4 units, 3n + 3 should be a multiple of 4.

Since Door 5 opens every 1 unit, 3n + 4 should be a multiple of 1.

By trial and error, n = 11.

So Douglas starts moving after 33 units, or 1155 seconds, or 19 min 15 sec.

Douglas clears the fifth door after 37 units, which leaves 23 units to spare, or 805 seconds, or 13 min 25 sec.

DUDE SOMEONE ANSWER THIS QUESTION
son4ous [18]

The line which rises to the left has slope of -1/3 and y intercept  of 2 so we have

y = -1/3x + 2

3y = -x + 6

x + 3y = 6

Shading is below and the line is  solid so the inequality  is

x + 3y  ≤ 6

The other line has equation

y = 3x - 1

and inequality is

y ≥ 3x - 1

The answer is B

Solve each pair of simulation equation.Giving both solutions. Multiply both equations by suitable numbers before adding/subtract
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I haven't got time to do all these by I'll give you the method in each case.

You have to make the x or y term equal (or 1 term + and other -) in both equations before adding or subtracting.

A . Multiply  equation 2 by 2 and subtract (to eliminate x)

- don't forget to multiply EACH TERM by 2.

B. Multiply  equation 2 by -2 and add.

C.  Multiply  equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2 ( this will give -6y and +6y in the resulting equations ) so  you then add to eliminate y.

D.  Multiply equation 1 by 13 and equation  and equation 2 by 2 to eliminate x then add.
