Answer:

The speed of the first car is 60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

Solve the above equation for distance to get

distance = speed * time

or simply

d = st

Now we use this formula for distance to write an equation for each car.

Let s = speed of second car

Then since the speed of the first car is 10 mph faster, the first car's speed is s + 10.

The time the two cars traveled is equal but unknown, so let the time = t.

First car: speed = s + 10; time = t; distance = 120 miles

d = st

120 = (s + 10)t    

(s + 10)t = 120      Equation 1

Second car: speed = s; time = t; 100 miles

d = st

100 = st

st = 100       Equation 2

Equations 1 and 2 form a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns.

(s + 10)t = 120

st = 100

Distribute t in the first equation.

st + 10t = 120

From the second equation we know st = 100, so substitute 100 for st.

100 + 10t = 120

10t = 120

t = 2

The time traveled was 2 hours.

Equation 2:

st = 100

Substitute t with 2.

s * 2 = 100

s = 50

The speed of the second car was 50 mph.

The speed of the first car is s + 10.

s + 10 = 50 + 10 = 60

Answer: The speed of the first car is 60 mph

The measures of two complementary angles are in the ratio 8:1. how many degrees are in the larger angle?
djverab [1.8K]
Since the measures of the two angles are in the ratio 8:1, this means the bigger angle's is 8x and the smaller angle is x. Since they are complementary, they add to 90°, so you create the equation 8x+x=90°. This can be simplified to 9x=90°. Then, you divide 90 by 9 to get 10. This means x=10. Next, you replace x with 10 to find the measure of the bigger angle. 8x10=80, so the larger angle is 80°.

The length of a rectangle is 1 inch less than twice the width. the area is 21 inches^2 what is the length?
ale4655 [162]
Hi.

Formula for area: A = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.

Given information:
• l = 2w - 1
• A = 21 in^2

We can plug in our values accordingly and solve for w.

A = 2l + 2w
21 = 2(2w - 1) + 2w
21 = 4w - 2 + 2w
23 = 6w - 2
23 = 6w
3.83 = w

Plug 3.83 for w into 2w - 1 to find length.

2(3.83) - 1
7.66 - 1
6.66

Finally, check your work by plugging your values into the original equation.

21 = 2(6.66) + 2(3.83)
21 = 13.32 + 7.66
21 = 20.98

Answer:
The length is approximately 6.66 inches.

Rule; y=5x<br><br> Table:<br> x | y<br> 2<br> 4<br> 6
Dahasolnce [82]

x | y
-
2 | 10
4 | 20
6 | 30

just plug the x values (2,4,6) into x in the equation and you get your y! example would be y=5(2) so y=10
