The answer will be the first one, $208,000
1) find the total percentage - 3x10=30%
30% of 160,000 = 48,000
160,000 + 48,000 = $208,000
First, factor out 5:
5 (x² -x -20)
We need two numbers that add to -1 and multiply to -20. -5 and 4 satisfy this.
5(x-5)(x+4)
<u>We are given:</u>
We know that the sum of all interior angles of a Pentagon is 540°
we are given 4 out of the 5 angles
<u>Solving for x:</u>
since the sum of all 5 angles is 540°:
75 + 130 + 135 + x + 90 = 540
x + 430 = 540
x = 540 - 430
x = 110°
Answer:
10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
(150/x) + 1.5 + (450/(x+15)) = 600/x
Multiply through by x(x + 15):
150(x + 15) + 1.5x(x + 15) + 450x = 600(x + 15)
150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x = 600x + 9000
150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x - 600x - 9000 = 0
1.5x^2 + 22.5x - 6750 = 0
x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(22.5^2 - 4(1.5)(-6750))) / (2*1.5)
x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(506.25 + 40500)) / 3
x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(41006.25)) / 3
x = (-22.5 +/- 202.5) / 3
x = 180/3 or -225/3
x = 60 or -75
But a negative number doesn't make sense, so therefore x = 60, so the journey took 600/60 = 10 hours.
