Roger and Rita each drive at a constant speed between Phoenix and San Diego. Each driver’s distance for the same section of the trip is displayed below. Who had a head start, and how many miles was the head start?

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

B) Roger had a 26-mile head start.

C) Roger had a 25-mile head start.

D) Rita had a 22-mile head start.

Answer:

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that Roger travelled a distance of 60 miles

And that;

Rita travelled a distance of 32 miles

We are told that they travelled between Phoenix and San Diego.

Thus, it means that if they have different distances but covered same section of the trip, it means the one with higher distance started before the section of the trip.

Thus, it means that Rita had a head start of Roger since she covered only 32 miles.

Thus;

Rita had a head start of; 60 - 32 = 28 miles

In the model below what is x and how do I solve it

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:so that’s a interior triangle so the mean your 2 points in the inside and the equation on the outside.

X=6

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x-4)+(3x+17)=(17x-23)

Combined our alike terms on the left side of the equation. So 8x+3x and -4+17.

11x+13=17x-23

Now this is what the equation should look like after combining ur alike terms.

11x+13=17x-23

-11x. -11x.

now u take the lowest x which is 11x and mince that from 17x but u only mince if it’s a positive but is it’s a negative u add it.

13=6x-23 so if u moved the x on the right side u move non variable number to the left but if u moved the x to the left u move the non variable number to the right so in this case the non variable number would be -23 so now u add 23 on both sides.

36=6x and now u just divide the 36 by 6 and remember to always divide by the x

Now the answer is x=6
