Answer:

  4/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Driving time is ...

  time = distance/speed

Then the ratio of times is ...

  6/20 : 6/30 : 6/40

  = 3/10 : 1/5 : 3/20

If we multiply by 20, we can get integer ratios:

  = 6 : 4 : 3

The middle ratio number represents the time spent at 30 mph, and the total of all ratio numbers represents the total driving time. Then the fraction spent at 30 mph is ...

  4/(6+4+3) = 4/13

_____

Total driving time was 13/20 hours, or 39 minutes. Of that time, 12 minutes was spent driving at 30 mph.

write two linear functions, f(x) and g(x). For example, f(x)= 3x-7 and g(x)= -2x+5. Then see whether f(x) - (-g(x)) is equivalen
sweet [91]

Answer:

the two expressions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that f(x)= 3x-7 and g(x)= -2x+5, therefore:

f(x) - (-g(x)) = 3x-7 - ( +2x-5) = 3x - 7 - 2x + 5 = x -2

f(x) + g(x) = 3x-7 -2x + 5 = x - 2

Therefore,  f(x) - (-g(x)) is equivalent to f(x) + g(x).

Another way to check that the two expressions are equivalent is by solving the parenthesis:

f(x) - (-g(x)) →  f(x) + g(x)

Therefore, the two expressions are equivalent.
