Answer:

The hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O represents the base camp,

Suppose after walking 3.5 miles west, first hiker's position is A, then after going 1.5 miles north from A his final position is B,

Similarly, after walking 2 miles east, second hiker's position is C then going towards 0.5 miles south his final position is D.

By making the diagram of this situation,

Let D' is the point in the line AB,

Such that, AD' = CD

In triangle BD'D,

BD' = AB + AD' = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 miles,

DD' = AC = AO + OC = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5 miles,

By Pythagoras theorem,

BD^2 = BD'^2 + DD'^2

BD = \sqrt{2^2 + 5.5^2}=\sqrt{4+30.25}=\sqrt{34.25}\approx 5.9

Hence, the hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation shown in the question can be seen graphed in the image attached below. As you can see with the graphed equation the variable x can be any real number except for -1. This is because a -1 would cause the denominator of the fraction to be equal to 0, and a fraction with a denominator as 0 is a null value and does not exist.

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. The
Tanzania [10]

x+y=23 and 10x+24y=426 can be used to determine the number of small and large boxes shipped where x represents the number of small boxes and y represent the number of large boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Volume of small box = 10 cubic feet

Volume of large box = 24 cubic feet

Total boxes shipped = 23

Combined volume = 426 cubic feet

Let,

x represent the number of small boxes.

y represent the number of large boxes.

x+y=23    

10x+24y=426

x+y=23 and 10x+24y=426 can be used to determine the number of small and large boxes shipped where x represents the number of small boxes and y represent the number of large boxes.
