Answer:

5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the runner travel at x miles an hour , then the cyclist travels at 5/ 3 * x

= 5/3 x  miles an hour.

So we have the equation

5/3 x - x = 2    ( since the cyclist was  travelling at 2  mph faster).,

2/3 x = 2

x = 3/2 * 2 = 3 mph.

So the cyclists speed was  3 * 5/3

= 5 mph.

Length x width is the formula.
so 18 x 18 for 7.
22 x 24 for 8.
and 8 would probably be 5 x 5 to equal 20. so the length and width would be 5 and 5 because 20 is the area

Find the vertex and axis of symmetry of each quadratic equation.
icang [17]

Answer: Vertex (-2,-15) and therefore the axis of sym will be -2

Step-by-step explanation: Using -b/2a you can deduce that 4x^2 is a, 16x is b and 1 is c. So -b/2a = -16/8 = -2. Then you plug -2 for y and yu should get -15. Then x will be your axis of symetry to x=-2
