Answer: option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan drove at an average speed of 30 miles per hour for the first 30 miles of a trip.

Time = distance/speed

This means that time spent by Susan in travelling the first 30 miles would be

Time = 30/30 = 1 hour

He travelled at an average speed of 60 miles per hour for the remaining 30 miles of the trip.

Time = 30/60 = 0.5 hours

Total distance travelled is 30 + 30 = 60 miles.

Total time spent = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 hours

Speed = distance/time

Average speed = 60/1.5 = 40 miles per hour.

How do you do simple interest in math
Kay [80]

simple interest:

principal x ( 1 + (rate as decimal x number of years))

 example if you put 100 dollars in a bank for 5 years at 5% interest at the end of the 5 years you would have:

100 x (1+(0.05 x 5)) = 100 x (1+(0.25)) = 100 x 1.25 = 125 dollars


125-100 = 25 dollars interest

Put this equation into slope intercept form 6x+12y=9
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{4}

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 6x + 12y = 9 into this form

subtract 6x from both sides

12y = - 6x + 9 ( divide all terms by 12 )

y = - \frac{6}{12} x + \frac{9}{12} ( which simplifies to )

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{4}

6. Find the value of x in the triangle below.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The value of x is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle triangle, you can apply Pythagoras theorem, side² + side² = hypo² :

(x + 3)² + 10² = (x + 5)²

x² + 6x + 9 + 100 = x² + 10x + 25

x² + 6x + 109 - x² - 10x - 25 = 0

-4x + 84 = 0

-4x = -84

4x = 84

x = 84 ÷ 4

x = 21 units
