4 hours

using the formula

distance = speed × time (t)

the Ford will have travelled 3 × 40 = 120 miles before the Chevy leaves

the Ford's distance can be modelled as

distance = 40t + 120

the Chevy's distance can be modelled as

distance = 70t

equating the right sides and solve for t

70 t = 40t + 120 ( subtract 40t from both sides )

30t = 120 ( divide both sides by 30 )

t = 4

the Chevy catches up with the Ford after 4 hours

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

b 19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

a = \pir^{2} for a circle.  We do not want to find the area for a whole circle.  We only want to find the area for part of a circle.  a hole circle is 360 degrees.

a = \frac{88}{360}\pir^{2}

a = \frac{88}{360}\pi(5^{2})

a = 19.2 rounded.

(4x-1) /2=x+7<br>4x-1 all over 2 = x +7​
Damm [24]

Answer:

x = \frac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x-1}{2} = x + 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

4x - 1 = 2(x + 7) ← distribute

4x - 1 = 2x + 14 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x - 1 = 14 ( add 1 to both sides )

2x = 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{15}{2}
