Answer: the trip (one-way) that Alan made on Saturday was 63 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the trip that Alan made on Saturday.

Let t represent the time that it took Alan to make the trip on Saturday.

On Saturday, Alan traveled North along minor roads averaging 36 mph to visit a friend.

Distance = speed × time.

Therefore, distance travelled on Saturday would be

x = 36 × t = 36t

On Sunday, he traveled East along main roads averaging 60 mph to visit his mother. The trip to visit his mother was 24 miles longer and took 18 minutes(18/60 = 0.3 hours) less. This means that the distance travelled would be

x + 24 and the time spent would be t - 0.3 hours.

Distance travelled on Sunday would be

x + 24 = 60(t - 0.3)

x + 24 = 60t - 18 - - - - - - -- - - 1

Substituting x = 36t into equation 1, it becomes

36t + 24 = 60t - 18

60t - 36t = 24 + 18

24t = 42

t = 42/24 = 1.75

x = 36t = 36 × 1.75

x = 63 miles

5. Write two expressions for the area of the big rectangle. ​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Two expressions for the area are;

i) x/3 + 2·y + 6

ii) (1/3) × (x + 6·y + 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dimension of the rectangle are;

The height of the rectangle, h = 1/3

The width of the smallest rectangle, w₁ = x

The width of the med sized rectangle, w₂ = 6·y

The width the large rectangle, w₃ = 18

The area, 'A', of the entire rectangular figure, the big rectangle, can be expressed as follows;

A = A₁ + A₂ + A₃

Where;

A₁ = The area of the smallest rectangle

A₂ = The area of the mid sized rectangle

A₃ = The area of the large rectangle

∴ A = (1/3) × x + (1/3) × 6·y + (1/3) × 18 = x/3 + 2·y + 6

The area of the big rectangle. 'A', can also be found as follows;

A = (1/3) × (x + 6·y + 18)

Therefore, two expressions for the area of the big rectangle are;

x/3 + 2·y + 6 and (1/3) × (x + 6·y + 18).
