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

How do I simplify this?
Fudgin [204]
This is the theory of algebra, to simply the expression we proceed as follows;
[sqrt(x-2)+5/sqrt(x-2)]/(x-2)
simplifying the numerator we get:
sqrt(x-2)+5/sqrt(x-2)
=[x-2+5]/sqrt(x-2)
=(x+3)/sqrt(x-2)
therefore our entire expression will be:
[(x+3)/sqrt(x-2)]/(x-2)
[(x+3)/(x-2)^(1/2)]*1/(x-2)
applying the law if indices we get
=(x+3)/(x-2)^(3/2)

Answer 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you replace the xs with 1/2

(√2•1/2+3)/(6•1/2-5)

Then you solve the multiplications

2•1/2=1

6•1/2=3

Now write them in

(√1+3)/(3-5)

Simplify

(√4)(-2)

Root of 4 equals to

2/-2

And the answer is -1

Answer 17:

Replace x with 8

1/2•8^2-(1/4•8+3)

Solve parenthesis, multiplication first

1/2•8^2-(2+3)

1/2•8^2-(5)

1/2•8^2-5

Solve the 8^2 and the 1/2

1/2•64-5

32-5

The answer is 17
