In this question, AE is the length of half of one diagonal in the rectangle. DB is the length of the other diagonal. 2(4x-12) would be the total length of the other diagonal, AC. You can set 2(4x-12) equal to 7x-18 and solve for x.
2(4x-12)=7x-18
8x-24=7x-18
x-24=-18
x=6
Answer:
Kay's husband drove at a speed of 50 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem of simple motion.
First of all we must calculate how far Kay traveled to her job, and then estimate the speed with which her husband traveled later.
d=vt
v=45 mph
t= 20 minutes/60 min/hour = 0.333 h (to be consistent with the units)
d= 45mph*0.333h= 15 miles
If Kay took 20 minutes to get to work and her husband left home two minutes after her and they both arrived at the same time, it means he took 18 minutes to travel the same distance.
To calculate the speed with which Kate's husband made the tour, we will use the same initial formula and isolate the value of "V"
d=vt; so
v=
d= 15 miles
t= 18 minutes/60 min/hour = 0.30 h (to be consistent with the units)
v=

Answer:
Already simplified.
Step-by-step explanation:
The only way to simplify an expression is to combine like terms. Like terms is where the variables are exactly the same. t^2 is not the same as t. Thus, cannot combine them, so the expression is already simplified,
