Rae runs 4 times as many miles as Madison and Aaliyah combined. Madison runs m miles, and Aaliyah runs a miles.

mash [69]

Answer: $4(m+a)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Write an expression using letters and/or numbers for each problem below"</h3>

For this exercise it is necessary to remember the following:

1. The word "times" indicates multiplication,

2. The word "combined" indicates addition.

In this case let "m" represents the amount of miles that Madison runs and let "a" represents the amount of miles that Aaliyah runs.

Based on the explained above, you know if the amount of miles that Madison runs and the amount of miles that Aaliyah runs are combined (or in other words, they are added), then the expression that represents this would be:

$m+a$

Therefore, you can determine that "4 times as many miles as Madison and Aaliyah combined", can represented with the following expression:

$4(m+a)$

Help i dont understand how to complete this

Answer: Josh = 19.8 hours, Danny = 10.8 hours

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$Josh: \dfrac{1}{x+9}\\\\\\Danny: \dfrac{1}{x}\\\\\\Together: \dfrac{1}{7}\\\\\\Josh\quad + \quad Danny\quad =\quad Together\\\dfrac{1}{x+9}\quad +\qquad \dfrac{1}{x}\qquad = \qquad \dfrac{1}{7}\\\\\\\underline{\text{Clear the denominator by multiplying by the LCM: (x+9)(x)(7)}}\\\\7(x) + 7(x+9)=x(x+9)\\7x + 7x + 63 = x^2+9x\\14x+63=x^2+9x\\0=x^2-5x-63\\\\\\\underline{\text{Use the quadratic formula to solve for x: }}x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(-63)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{25+252}}{2}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{277}}{2}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{5\pm 16.6}{2}\\\\\\x =\dfrac{5+16.6}{2}\qquad x=\dfrac{5-16.6}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{21.6}{2}\qquad \qquad x=\dfrac{-11.6}{2}\\\\\\x=10.8 \qquad \qquad x=-5.8$

Since time cannot be negative, x=-5.8 is an extraneous solution (not valid) so x = 10.8

Josh: x + 9 --> 10.8 + 9 = 19.8

Danny: x --> 10.8

****************************************************************************************

2a) k = 9.45 & 0.55

2b) x = 3/2

2c) x = 2/3 <em>(x = -1 is an extraneous solution so is not valid)</em>

2d) No Solution <em>(x = 1 is an extraneous solution so is not valid)</em>

Here is the work for 2a. Follow this format for b, c, & d

$\dfrac{3}{k^2-8x+12}=\dfrac{k}{k-2}-\dfrac{4}{k-6}\\\\\text{Since the denominator cannot equal zero, then } k \neq2\ and\ k\neq6\\\text{If either of the solutions are 2 or 6, then that solution needs to be crossed out}\\\\\underline{\text{Clear the denominator by multiplying by the LCM: (k-2)(k-6)}}\\\\3 = k(k-6)-4(k-2)\\3=k^2-6k-4k+8\\0=k^2-10k+5\\\\\\\underline{\text{Use the quadratic formula to solve for k}}$

$x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm \sqrt{(-10)^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{10\pm\sqrt{100-20}}{2}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{10\pm\sqrt{80}}{2}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{10\pm8.9}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{10+8.9}{2}\qquad x=\dfrac{10-8.9}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{18.9}{2}\qquad x=\dfrac{1.1}{2}\\\\\\x=9.45\qquad x=0.55\\\\\\\text{Both answers are valid!}$
