Hello,

Let's r the ration

We suppose x ≠0

x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)

x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6

x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2

Ration 3/2
First term: 4

laiz [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  78.71 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

You're looking for the solution to ...

  d = 88

  0.0015r^2 +r = 88

  0.0015r^2 +r -88 = 0

Using the quadratic formula*, we find ...

  r = (-1 +√(1² -4(0.0015)(-88)))/(2×0.0015)

  r = (-1 +√1.528)/0.003 = 0.236123/0.003 = 78.7077

The speed of the car was about 78.71 mph.

_____

* The quadratic formula will also give a negative answer of about -745 mph, which is not relevant to the situation.
