Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam- 3 mph = 20 minutes a mile

Amy- 12 mph = 5 minutes a mile

Adam left 30 minutes prior to Amy so he is a mile and a half ahead before amy even starts.

30 minutes = 1.5 miles (Adam)

7.5 minutes = 1.5 miles (Amy)

but with this being said you have to continue to add time and miles to Adam because he's now gone an extra 7.5 minutes too.

45 minutes = 2.25 miles

15 minues = 3 miles

no youre too far and Amy is now further so we have to go back some

40 minutes = 2 miles

10 minutes = 2 miles

With all this being said Amy only needs to ride her bike for 10 minutes before she catches back up to Adam

A. Find value of x and KL if K is between J and L.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

If k is between J and L, then

JK + KL = JL

2x+11 + (3x) = 13x-13

Combine like terms

5x +11 = 13x -13

Subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x+11 = 13x-5x-13

11 = 8x-13

Add 13 to each side

11+13 = 8x-13+13

24 = 8x

Divide by 8

24/8 = 8x/8

3 =x

Which subset of the real numbers contains the square root of 50
Pie
There are an infinite number of such subsets. One of them is the set of real numbers in the interval (7, 8). Perhaps you're thinking "irrational" numbers, as opposed to "integers" or "rational" numbers.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

That is not a parallelogram. It has more than four sides.

Area of the white part of the figure is 4×20 = 80 m²

If you expand the figure to include the white part, its area is 9×23 = 207 m².

Green area = 207-80 = 127 m²
