Curtis rides his bike 9 miles one way then turns around and rides back. On the return trip, his speed is increased 20% because t

he wind is at his back. Let s be his speed in miles per hour riding against the wind. What is an expression that represents his total time in hours riding there and back?

Answer:

The expression that represents his total time is given by "t = 7.5/s" where s is his speed against the wind.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will assign a variable to Curtis speed on the first leg of the trip, this will be called "s". Since the speed on the first part is "s" and the speed on the second part is 20% higher, then the speed on the second part is "1.2s". Each leg of the course is 9 miles long, therefore the time it took to go each way is given by:

time = distance/speed

First part:

t1 = 9/s

Second part:

t2 = 9/1.2s = 7.5/s

The expression for the whole course is the sum of each, so we have:

t = t1 + t2

t = 9/s + 7.5/s

t = (9 + 7.5)/s = (16.5)/s

Rectangle 1 has length 10 and width 20. Rectangle 2 is made by multiplying each dimension of Rectangle 1 by a factor of k=3
Gwar [14]

Answer:

30cm, 60cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Dimensions of the first rectangle

Length =10cm

Width =20cm

We are told that the dimensions of the second rectangle is gotten by multiplying the first rectangle by 3

Hence the dimensions of the second rectangle is

Length =10*3= 30cm

Width = 20*3= 60cm

3 over 5 x minus 15 = 6 over 5 x plus 12
poizon [28]
3 over 5 x minus 15 = 6 over 5 x plus 12

3/5x - 15 = 6/5x +12
-3/5x+3/5x-15=6/5x-3/5x+12 subtraction property
-15=3/5x+12 simplified
-12-15=3/5x+12-12 subtraction property
-27=3/5x simplified

The vertex angle of an isoceles triangle is 8 times the measure of the base angle. find the measure of the base angle
Yuki888 [10]
For this problem, if we used b to represent your base angle measurement, you would add 8b+2b and set it equal to 180. This is because the measure of the vertex angle is 8 times the base angle measurement, so we had to multiply b by 8. We also had to add it to the other angle measures, so the other angle measures are represented as 2b since they are the same length. We then have to set this equal to 180 since that measures of a triangle must add up to 180. Then we combine like terms on our “b” side to get 10b=180. Then we divide both sides by 10 and we get b=18, which is the measure of our base angle.

Triangles WSR and TVR are similar. Find x.
Vlad [161]

They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other

(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12

Cross multiply

(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)

12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)

Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis

12(x + 8) = 12x + 96

8(x + 14) = 8x + 112

12x + 96 = 8x + 112

Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides

12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)

12x - 8x = 112 - 96

4x = 16

Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 16/4

x = 4

4 is your answer for x
