We will define the following variables to solve the problem:
 s: normal speed
 t: normal time
 We write the following system of equations:
 6 = s * t
 6 = (s + 3) * (t-7)
 Rewriting the equation two we have:
 6 = s * t -7s + 3t -21
 Substituting:
 s = 6 / t
 6 = (6 / t) * t -7 (6 / t) + 3t -21
 Multiplying both sides by t:
 6t = 6t - 42 + 3t ^ 2 - 21t
 Rewriting:
 3t ^ 2 - 21t - 42 = 0
 We take the positive root:
 t = 7/2 + root (105) / 2
 t = 8.62 h
 We look for the value of the speed:
 s = 6 / t
 s = 6 / 8.62
 s = 0.696 km / h
 Answer:
 
she did travel 0.696 kilometers per hour

Make COS the subject of the formula
docker41 [41]

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2(ab)(cos C)

c^2 + 2(ab)(cos C) = a^2 + b^2

2(ab)(cos C) = a^2 + b^2 - c^2

cos C = (a^2 + b^2 - c^2) / 2ab - Answer choice E

Hope this helps! :)

4-2(x+7)=3(x+5) can ya'll help me with the steps.
maria [59]

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

4-2(x+7)=3(x+5)

Distribute

4 -2x-14 = 3x+15

Combine like terms

-2x-10 = 3x+15

Add 2x to each side

-2x-10+2x= 3x+15+2x

-10 = 5x+15

Subtract 15 from each side

-10-15 = 5x+15

-25 = 5x

Divide by 5

-25/5 = 5x/5

-5 =x

Find the area of the rectangle or square 19 3 km and 38.4 km.
blagie [28]

Answer:

Area of rectangle is 741.12km^2

Area of square is 1474.56km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Area of a rectangle= length x breadth

Area = l x b = 19.3 km x 38.4 km (substitute the numbers)

Area = 741 km^2

OR

Area of square = length x length

Area = l x l = 38.4 x 38.4

Area = 1474.56 km^2
