Answer:
It took Pedro <em>3.81 hours</em> to reach the lake.
Step-by-step explanation:
Time taken by Mike to hike a lake = 4.5 hours
Average rate of Mike while hiking the lake = 
Formula for distance can be seen as:

Distance traveled by Mike = 
Rate of Pedro while hiking the same distance = 
Given that, Pedro also travels the same distance.
And we have to find the Time.


It took Pedro <em>3.81 hours</em> to reach the lake.
Laura's age is 9 years.
Solution:
Let x be the age of April.
Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age
<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>
Half of April's age = 
2 years more than half of April's age = 
Combined age of April and Laura = 23
⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23



To add the fractions make the denominators same.
Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get


Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

Do cross multiplication.




Aprils's age = 14 years
Laura's age = 
= 7 + 2
Laura's age = 9
Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let J and M represent the current ages of Jacob and his Mother.
<u>currently</u>:
M = 3 +9J
<u>in 11 years</u>:
M+11 = 5 +3(J+11)
Using the first equation to substitute for M in the second, we have ...
(3 +9J) +11 = 5 +3(J +11) . . . . . substitute for M
9J +14 = 3J +38 . . . . . . simplify
6J + 24 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3J+14
J = 4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
M = 3 +9(4) = 39
Jacob is 4 and his mother is 39.
64 is the answer and apparently it needs to be longer than 20 characters
Answer:
82 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive even integers is 2, thus
let the legs be n and n + 2
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
n² + (n + 2)² = 58² ← expand and simplify left side
n² + n² + 4n + 4 = 3364 ( subtract 3364 from both sides )
2n² + 4n - 3360 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )
n² + 2n - 1680 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 42)(n - 40) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 42 = 0 ⇒ n = - 42
n - 40 = 0 ⇒ n = 40
But n > 0 ⇒ n = 40
and n + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
Thus sum of legs = 40 + 42 = 82 inches
