Let's start by assuming Armando's house is between Joey's and the park.
Let

be the distance Joey walked to Armando's house.
<span>The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando's home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park.
</span>


That's probably the answer they're looking for. But what if the park is between Joey and Armando's houses or Joey is between the park and Armando? (The latter isn't really possible with the given distances.)
Let

be the distances between three collinear points like we have here. Our equation is really a few equations in one, something like

Let's get rid of the plus/minuses. Squaring,



For us, that's a quadratic equation for


I'll skip right to the solutions,


We could have gotten the 3/2 just by adding 9/10+3/5 but this was more fun.
Answer:
The union of two sets is a new set that contains all of the elements that are in at least one of the two sets.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total area of a box is the sum of all the area of the faces it has. It is also called the surface area. The area of one face of a rectangular box is equal to the product of its length and width. So, the total area would be:
SA = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
SA = 2(4)(3) + 2(3)(6) + 2(4)(6)
SA = 108 ft^2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the first piece be x
Let the second piece 4x
Let the third piece = 5x
Total length = 40 inches.
Equation
x + 4x + 5x = 40 Combine
Solution
10x = 40 Divide by 10
10x/10 = 40/10
x = 4
Answer
The smallest piece (x) = 4
The middle piece 4x = 4*4 = 16
The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20
