A) x * y = 42 (or x = 42/y)
B) x + y = 23
B) 42/y + y = 23
42 + y^2 = 23y
y^2 -23y + 42 = 0
The numbers are 21 and 2
1) Let x be the original speed that he was driving;
x mph ---> 1.5 hours
x+44 mph --> 2.5 hours
1.5x + 2.5(x+44)=206
1.5x+2.5x+110=206
4x=206-110
4x=96
x=24
Therefore, he was travelling at 24 mph in the fog.
2) Let x be the speed of 1 snail,
The other snail travels at the speed of x+1 cm/min
23x+23(x+1)=391 <-- solve for x
23x+23x+23=391
46x=368
x=368/46
x=8
Therefore one of the snail travels at 8 cm/min while the other goes at 9 cm/min
7) Let x be one crew
Then the other crew would be working at x+0.5
3.2x+3.2(x0.5)=8 <-- solve for x
3.2x+1.6x=8
4.8x=8
x=8/4.8
x=1.6666 or 1.7 miles
Therefore, one of the crew does 1.7 miles per day and the other crew does (0.5*1.7)=0.85 miles
Hope I helped :)
There are 60 minutes in an hour and percent means per one hundred so:
p/100=18/60
p=1800/60
p=30%
Answer:
3 bottles
Step-by-step explanation:
area=base x height
area=30 x 15=450 ft^2
450/180=2.5
