Answer:

Steven is faster than Michelle by covering 0.64 meters more per second than that of Michelle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Steven swam 200 m in 25.7 seconds while Michelle finished in 28 seconds.

So, speed of Steven is, $S_{Steven}=\frac{Distance}{time}=\frac{200}{25.7}=7.78\ m/s$

Speed of Michelle is, $S_{Michelle}=\frac{Distance}{time}=\frac{200}{28}=7.14\ m/s$

Now, to find how much faster did Steven swim than Michelle, we need to get the difference between their speeds.

Speed of Steven - Speed of Michelle

$7.78-7.14$

$=0.64\ m/s$

So, Steven is faster than Michelle by covering 0.64 meters more per second than that of Michelle.

Answer:

The value of x in terms of b is: $\mathbf{x=-\frac{6}{2b}}$

The value of x when b is 3 is: x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function: $-2(bx-5)=16$

First we need to find

The value of x in terms of b

We need to find value of x

$-2(bx-5)=16$

Multiply -2 with terms inside the bracket

$-2bx+10=16$

Subtract 10 from both sides

$-2bx+10-10=16-10\\-2bx=6$

Divide both sides by -2b

$\frac{-2bx}{-2b}=\frac{6}{-2b}\\x=-\frac{6}{2b}$

So, The value of x in terms of b is: $\mathbf{x=-\frac{6}{2b}}$

The value of x when b is 3

We have the equation for the value of x in terms of b:

$\mathbf{x=-\frac{6}{2b}}$

Put b = 3

$x=-\frac{6}{2(3)}\\x=-\frac{6}{6}\\x=-1$

So, The value of x when b is 3 is: x = -1

What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+2x-15 = x²-3x+5x-15 = x(x-3)+5(x-3)=(x+5)(x-3)

or delta:

∆=2²-4*1*(-15)=4+60=64

√∆=8

x1 = (-2+8)/2 = 3

x2=(-2-8)/2=-5

and 4x+20 = 4(x+5)

The same is (x+5), so it is GCF. answer C
