Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is A. 1/8</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let's solve (1/3 * 9/16) / 1 1/2 = x</u>
(1/3 * 9/16) / 1 1/2 = x
9/48 / 1 1/2 = 9/48 * 2/3 = 18/144
18/144, we can simplify dividing by 18 at the numerator and the denominator, this way:
x = 18 ÷ 18/ 144 * 18 = 1/8
<u>The correct answer is A. 1/8</u>
Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply to get:
3x=4(x+1)
3x=4(x+1)
3x=4x+4
x=-4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of games
Cost of 1 game = $9
Cost of x games = 9x
he gets a student discount of $10.
So, Cost after discount = 9x-10
Let the total cost be T
So,
So, An equation to represent the total cost of playing laser tag including the discount is
1.) First plug in the values for m and A:
--> 
Isolate b: 
b = 1999
So your answer is the first option.
2.) Admission costs $5.25, so even if you don't go on any rides, you will still have to pay $5.25. This means that for this problem, 5.25 will be the b value. If each ride costs $2.50, then this means it is $2.50x for the cost of x rides. The total cost will then be 
.
