Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that it takes 45 minutes for a person to drive 50 miles. We can write this as a fraction that is 45/50, which simplifies to 9/10, meaning it would take this person 9 minutes to travel 10 miles.

So, how long would it take to travel 120? Well, we know that if we take 10 miles and multiply it by 12 we will have 120 miles. If we take the time it takes to drive those ten miles (9 minutes) and multiply it by 12, we will figure out how long it takes to drive 120 miles!

9×12=108

However, we want this to be written in hours. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour, and if we subtract 60 from 108 we have 48. This gives us 1 hour and 48 minutes.

Therefore, it will take 1 hour and 48 minutes for this person to travel 120 miles at the same rate.

Have a wonderful day! :D

What are the values of x and y?
tresset_1 [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

y is easy.

it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.

so, Pythagoras :

y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100

y = 10

x is a bit more complex.

I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.

so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have

x = a + b = 6 + b

height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)

therefore,

6b = height² = 8² = 64

b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...

so,

x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...

round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67

Factor completely 3x3 − 6x2 − 24x. 3x(x − 4)(x + 2) 3x(x + 4)(x − 2) 3x(x − 3)(x − 2) 3x(x + 3)(x − 2)
inysia [295]

Answer:

3x(x - 4)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x³ - 6x² - 24x ← factor out common factor of 3x from each term

= 3x(x² - 2x - 8) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 8) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

The factors are - 4 and + 2, since

- 4 × 2 = - 8 and - 4 + 2 = - 2, thus

x² - 2x - 8 = (x - 4)(x + 2) and

3x³ - 6x² - 24x = 3x(x - 4)(x + 2)
