Answer:

Her average speed is 48 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using a system of equations.

The speed equation is:

s = \frac{d}{t}

In which s is the speed, d is the distance, and t is the time.

Gabriella drives her car 320 miles and averages a certain speed.

So d = 320

Then

s = \frac{320}{t}

If the average speed has been 6 miles less she could have traveled only 280 miles in the same length of time.

So, which s - 6, d = 280.

s - 6 = \frac{280}{t}

From the first equation:

s = \frac{320}{t}

st = 320

t = \frac{320}{s}

Replacing:

s - 6 = \frac{280}{t}

s - 6 = \frac{280}{\frac{320}{s}}

320(s - 6) = 280s

320s - 1920 = 280s

40s = 1920

s = \frac{1920}{40}

s = 48

Her average speed is 48 miles per hour.

If you solve the equation for ax+by/c=d for x, what would you get?
Xelga [282]

<u>Answer:</u>

x=d/a - by/ac

<u>Steps:</u>

ax+by/c=d

(cax+by)/c=d

cax+by=cd

cax=cd-by

x=(cd-by)/ca

x=cd/ca - by/ca

x=d/a - by/ac

Determine the exact solution to the following in radians.
Sloan [31]
3sinx+1=sinx
2sinx+1=0
2sinx=-1
sinx=-1/2
x=sin^-1 (1/2) = 30 = \pi/6 (when finding the inverse, always take the positive value, ignore the negative sign)
x is therefore negative in 3rd and 4th quadrant
Therefore values of x are:
180+30=210 = 7\pi/6
360-3=330 = 11\pi/6

​ On a certain hot​ summer's day, 335 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.00 fo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).

We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c

We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25

By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25

Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25

Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -

$70.75

Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.

The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57
