Answer:

27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.

Explanation:

Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning.  They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression

3m+4

to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.

Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:

m+3m+4 = 112

Combine like terms:

4m+4 = 112

Subtract 4 from each side:

4m+4-4= 112-4

4m = 108

Divide both sides by 4:

4m/4 = 108/4

m = 27

They rode 27 miles in the morning.

That means in the afternoon, they rode

3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.

X+3x+4=112
x=27
3(27)+4=85

morning: 27 miles

The least of 3 consecutive integers is a, and the greatest is z. What is the value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a is (3a+4)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

least of 3 consecutive integers is a, and the greatest is z

if a is the least one

we know that integers differ by value of 1.

example -2, -1, 0, 1,2

they all differ by

then next consecutive integer will be a+1

third integer will be  second integer +1 = a+1 + 1 = a+2

Thus, 3 consecutive integer

a , a+1, a+2

but given that greatest is z

thus, a+2 is greatest and hence

a+2 = z

we have to find   value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a

a + 2z/ 2 = a + 2(a+2)/2 = (a+ 2a +4)/2 = (3a+4)/2.

The value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a is (3a+4)/2

Solve for x I need help on this question
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

x\approx7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

In relation to the given angle, we are given the triangle's opposite side and hypotenuse. Therefore, we use the sine function to set up a proportion and solve for the opposite side:

sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

sin(23^\circ)=\frac{x}{20}

20sin(23^\circ)=x

x=20sin(23^\circ)

x\approx7.8

Therefore, the length of the opposite side is about 7.8 units
