Answer:
distance across the pond: 13 yd
distance walked by Garret: 12 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
- distance across the pond: x yd
- distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
- distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd
A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 5² + (x-1)²
x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1
0 = 26 - 2x
x = 13
Answer:
• 2/3|2 -x| = 1/15
• |2 -x| = 1/10
• 1/5 +|4/3 -2/3x| = 4/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with the given equation, subtract 1/5 = 3/15.
(2/3)|2 -x| = 4/15 - 3/15
(2/3)|2 -x| = 1/15 . . . . . . . . matches the first choice
Now, multiply by 3/2.
|2 -x| = 3/30
|2 -x| = 1/10 . . . . . . . . . . . . matches the third choice
___
If you decide to distribute the coefficient 2/3 instead, you have
1/5 + |2·2/3 -x·2/3| = 4/15
1/5 + |4/3 -2/3x| = 4/15 . . . . matches the selected choice
3.691 rounded by the nearest tenth is 3.7
You subtract the like terms, don't forget to distribute the subtraction sign, its 7x2+5x
