Answer:

8 minutes if Jane was assumed to be stationary

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on relative speed

First find the distance covered by Jane when Sally left school

Speed=Distance/Time ⇒⇒ Distance=Time×Speed

Time=10minute=10/60 hrs

Jane's speed= 12mph

Distance covered by Jane when Sally left school was= 12 ×10/60 = 2miles

So, when Sally left school, Jane was 2 miles away. To find the time Sally requires to catch up with Jane;

Time=Distance/speed

Time of meeting =2/15 hrs ⇒⇒ 2/15 × 60 =8minutes

What are the x-coordinates of the solutions to this system of equations? x2 + y2 = 100 y = x + 2
kiruha [24]

Answer:

x = - 8, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x² + y² = 100 → (1)

y = x + 2 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 2 into (1)

x² + (x + 2)² = 100

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100

2x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

Answer:

3/8 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 tablespoons of sugar = 1/16 * 2 = 1/8 cup of sugar.

1/2 cup = 4/8 cups.

So the extra sugar required = 4/8 - 1/8

= 3/8 cups.
