Let n = minutes since 12:00 pm when Malory catches up to Dori.
Dori travels
(50 steps/min)*(n minutes) = 50n steps
Malory begins walking at 12:20 pm, so she walks for (n - 20) minutes. She travels
(90 steps/min)*(n - 20 min) = 90n - 1800 steps
Equate the steps traveled by Dori and Malory.
90n - 1800 = 50n
40n = 1800
n = 45 min
The time corresponding to n = 45 min is 12:45 pm
Answer: 12:45 pm
Rules for adding: if the bases are the same you can add them, and subtracting happens in a fraction
Answer: if n = 8 then the equation is false because 6+8 = 14 but on the equation, it shows 6+8 = 22, which is false
Answer: x = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
If you draw out the problem, you plug in the information into the formula, so it would be...
x^2 + 80^2 = 100^2.
80^2 = 6,400 and 100^2 = 10,000.
x^2 + 6,400 = 10,000.
You subtract 6,400 from itself and 10,000 and then you get...
x^2 = 3,600.
You square both of those and your final answer will be x = 60.
