Answer:

The speed of the runner is 6 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance between the cyclist and the runner is 68 miles.

Given the speed of the cyclist is 28 miles per hour.

Initial time is 1:00PM Final time is 3:00PM

Time elapsed is 3-1=2hours

Let the cyclist travel a distance of x miles,Then the distance travelled by the runner is 68-x miles.

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

for the cyclist

28=\frac{x}{2}

x=56 miles

the distance travelled by the runner is 68-56=12 miles

speed of the runner =  12/2 = 6 miles per hour

What numbers multiply to -30 and add to -3
krek1111 [17]
Let the numbers be x and y.  Then xy = -30 and  x+y = -3.

Solve xy = -30 for y:    y = -30/x

subst. -30/x for y in   x+y= -3:     x  -  30/x = -3

Multiply all 3 terms by x:  x^2 - 30 = -3x, so   x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

Solve this quadratic equation for x.     x: {-5, 2}

If x = -5, then   x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.

You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct.  If it is, what is the corresponding y value?
