Answer:

5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the distances walked by Maria;

3 km west and 4 km south

We are required to determine the displacement from her starting point;

We are going to use Pythagoras's theorem;

a² + b² = c²

Taking, the distances towards south and towards west as the legs of the triangle;

Then, c² = 3² + 4²

= 25

c = √25

= 5 km

Therefore, the displacement from the starting point is 5 km

Find the value of x. Your answer must be exact.<br> х<br> 45° 18

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

x = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x + -18 = 45

Reorder the terms:

-18 + x = 45

Solving

-18 + x = 45

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '18' to each side of the equation.

-18 + 18 + x = 45 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0

0 + x = 45 + 18

x = 45 + 18

Combine like terms: 45 + 18 = 63

x = 63

Simplifying

x = 63

3. Solve this inequality: 1/4-8 < 4.

juin [17]

Answer:

$j \: < \: 48$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the inequality

$\frac{1}{4}j - 8 \: < \: 4$

We add 8 to both sides to get:

$\frac{1}{4}j \: < \: 4 + 8$

$\frac{1}{4} j \: < \: 12$

Multiply both sides by 4 to get:

$j \: < \: 12 \times 4$

$j \: < \: 48$

Carlos has used 40 cell phone minutes each day for one full week. His cell phone plan allows for a total of 320 minutes per week

sammy [17]

40 minutes*7 days of the week= 280 minutes a week. So, 320-280= 40 minutes left over. 40:320= 1:8. You were correct!
