Answer:

12t -3 = 18t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

d = your friends distance in miles

t = time in hrs

Your equation:

d - 3 = 18t (1)

Because you are 3 miles behind your friend

Your Friend's equation:

d = 12t (2)

To find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up with your friend,

Substitute (2) into (1)

d - 3 = 18t

12t - 3 = 18t

Equation to find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up to your friend is 12t - 3 = 18t

Solving the equation

12t - 3 = 18t

Collect like terms

12t - 18t = 3

-6t = 3

t = 3/-6

= -0.5

t = 1/2 hour

Time can not be negative, therefore it will take 1/2 an hour to catch up with your friend

A bag holds 1 blue block and 3 yellow blocks. How many green blocks should be added to the bag to make the probability of random
Drupady [299]
n - the number of green blocks which is equal to the number of favourable events
1+3+n=4n - the number of all blocks, which is equal to the number of all possible outcomes

P(A)=\dfrac{n}{4+n}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\
1\cdot( 4+n)=2\cdot n\\
4+n=2n\\
2n-n=4\\
n=4

A triangle has one 90-degree angle and one 38.7 - degree angle. What is the measure of the third angle?
tigry1 [53]
The answer is 51.3 degrees because you add 90+38.7=128.7
then you do 180-128.7 because this is a linear/ supplementary triangle which adds up to 180
and you get 51.3 degrees
