Answer:

speed of car A =Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that speed of car A is equal to speed of car B.

Also let car A travels x miles.

and car B travels y miles.

Car A  reaches its destination in 17 minutes.

this means that speed of car A is given by:  \dfrac{x}{17} miles/minutes  ( since speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time).

Car B reaches its destination in 32 minutes.

This means that the speed of car B is given by: \dfrac{y}{32} miles/minutes

as speed of both cars are equal this means:

\dfrac{x}{17}=\dfrac{y}{32}------(1)

Also we are given Car B travels 12 miles farther than Car A.

this means y-x=12

y=12+x------(2)

on using equation (1) and (2) we have:

\dfrac{x}{17}=\dfrac{12+x}{32}\\  \\32x=17(12+x)\\\\32x=17\times12+17x\\\\32x-17x=17\times12\\\\15x=122\times17\\\\x=13.6

Hence the speed of car A is 0.8 miles/minutes  ( since x/17 is the speed of car A)

Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.

Can you explain how to do this math problem?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Since the problem is 2x^2-5xy-y^3 we first have to plug in what the x and y stands for, once you do that your problem should look like this:

2(-3)^2- 5(-3)(-2)- (-2)^3

Now take the parentheses away and when you do that your signs change.

2x3^2-5x(-3)x(-2)-(-2)^3    

do it again with -5x(-3)x(-2)

2x3^2-30-(-2)^3

now do this with (-2)^3

2x3^2-30-(-8)

Now evaluate the power

3^2 becomes 9

2x9-30-(-8)

then change -(-8) to a positive since two negatives make a positive

2x9-30+8

Now multiply the numbers 2x9

18-30+8

Then do 18-30 which equals -12 then add 8

Now you are left with your answer:

<u>-4</u>


Hope this helps! :3
