Answer:
1) Distance=Speed*time
90=(x+1)*(x)+(2x+5)(x-1)
90=x^2+x+2x^2-2x+5x-5
3x^2+4x-95=0
2) 3x^2+4x-95=0. Using quadratic formula, we get
x=(-4±sqrt(16-4*3*(-95)<u>)</u>)/6, x=5 or - 19/5 but since x also represents time, it can't be negative.
3) Total time take she took for the journey is x+x-1=2x-1=2*5-1=9 hours
Answer:
The value of a is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given with the following pair of the linear system of equations below;
and 
.
Also, the solution is given as (a, -1).
To find the value of 'a', we have to substitute the solution in the equation because it is stated that (a, -1) is the solution of the given two equations.
So, the x coordinate value of the solution is a and the y coordinate value of the solution is (-1).
First, taking the equation;
Put the value of x = a and y = -1;
(-1) = -(a) + 9
a = 9 + 1 = 10
Now, taking the second equation;
Put the value of x = a and y = -1;
0.5a = 6 - 1
0.5a = 5
a = 10
Since we get the value of a = 10 from the equations, so the value of a is 10.
Hey there!!
Given equation :
... -4 ( x + 10 ) - 6 = -3 ( x - 2 )
Using the distributive property :
... -4x - 40 - 6 = -3x + 6
Combining like terms :
... -4x - 46 = -3x + 6
Adding 46 on both sides :
... -4x = -3x + 52
Adding 3x on both sides :
... -x = 52
... x = -52
Hope helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 2 = 4
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 3 .
-4 + -1 = -5
-2 + -2 = -4
-1 + -4 = -5
1 + 4 = 5
2 + 2 = 4
4 + 1 = 5
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
