Answer:

<u>Dave drove 168 miles during the 2nd part of the trip</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of Dave for part of the trip = 55 mph

Speed of Dave the rest of the trip = 60 mph

Total time of the round trip = 4 hours 12 minutes

Total distance of the trip = 245 miles

2. How far did Dave drive during the 2nd part of his trip?

Let's recall that the formula of speed is:

Speed = Distance/Time, therefore Distance = Speed * Time

x = Time of part of the trip

4 hours 12 minutes - x = Time of the rest of the trip

4.2 hours - x = Time of the rest of the trip

Now, we can write solve for x, this way:

55 * x + 60 (4.2 - x) = 245

55x + 252 - 60x = 245

-5x = 245 - 252

-5x = -7

x = -7/-5 = 7/5 = 1.4 ⇒ 4.2 - x = 2.8

1st part of the trip = 55 * 1.4 = 77 miles

2nd part of the trip = 2.8 * 60 = 168 miles

<u>Dave drove 168 miles during the 2nd part of the trip and 77 miles during the 1st part</u>

-5x = - 7 because -6x plus x is -5x and use elimination to get rid of the -3y so you end up with -5x = -7

Answer:

STUV is a square

Step-by-step explanation:

segment length² = (x-x₁)² + (y-y₁)²

ST²: (-9 - 1)2 + (14 - 10)² = (-10)² + 4² = 116   (the rest follow this formula)

TU² = 116    TV² = 232    SU² = 232   SV² = 116   UV² = 116

ST = TU =SV = UV  (4 sides congruent)

TV = SU  (diagonal equal)

This is a square

THE 5 IDENTICAL SHELVES WOULD  have to be 76 because if you take 400 - 20 (because that left over) you get 380/5 you get 76 and to check your work you do 5x76=380+20 you get 400 so 76 is you answer
