Answer:

36 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

His entire journey, represented with a diagram, is in the shape of a right angle triangle.

We need to first find the hypotenuse of the triangle, then, add all the sides together:

hyp² = opp² + adj²

hyp² = 9² + 12²

hyp² = 81 + 144 = 225

Find the square root of both sides:

hyp = 15 miles

Therefore, adding the three sides together:

Total distance traveled = 9 + 12 + 15

Total distance traveled = 36 miles

He would ride 36 miles altogether.

Mr. Anders was three times as old as Kate 5 years ago. Their total age now is 42 years. How old is Kate now?

katrin [286]

We can write this as two equations. Call Mr. Anders' age A and Kate's age K:
$A-5=3(K-5)$
$A+K=42$

Then solve for A in the second equation:
$A=42-K$

Substitute this into the first equation:
$(42-K)-5=3(K-5)$
$-K+37=3K-15$
$52=4K$
$K=13$

A manufacturer of shipping boxes has a box shaped like a cube. The side length is

Debora [2.8K]

The vol. of a cube of side length s is V=s^3.

So, if the side length is 5a+4b, then the volume of the cube is

V(a, b) = (5a+4b)^3. This could, of course, be expanded, using the binomial theorem, but there's no point in doing so.

Solve the equation for x:<br> -3(x + 4) + 5x = 24

mr_godi [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$-3(x + 4) + 5x = 24\\\\-3x - 12 + 5x = 24\\\\2x - 12 = 24\\\\2x = 36\\\\x = 18$
