Answer:

A). 30 miles

B). 3 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the distance is y and the time to be x

Speed= distance/time

If the bird traveled at a speed of 20mph,it will be

20 = y/x

Y = 20x______ equation 1

And on the Bird's return it took it flew at a speed 4 miles per hour slower and had 6 miles left to cover after x hours

20 - 4 = (y - 6)/x

16 = (y - 6) /x_____ equation 2

From equation 1 which is y = 20x,substitute into equation 2

16 = (20x - 6)/x

Cross multiply the above and we have

16x = 20x - 6

Collect like terms

20x - 16x = 6

4x = 6

X = 6/4

X = 3/2 or 1½ hours or 1 hour 30 minutes for the trip away from the nest

Substitute in equation 1 and we have

20x = y

20 × 1½ =y

Y = 60/2

Y = 30 miles is the distance from the nest to the birds destination prior to it's return

The entire trip took 3 hours since we have to calculate the "going and coming back" of the bird.

And the distance is 60 miles.

Check that 2b+b and 3b have the same value when b is 1,2, and 3. Do 2b+b and 3b have the same value for all values of b? Explain
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Expression 2b+b and 3b have same values for all values of b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two expression 2b+b and 3b and values of b as 1, 2 and 3.

Consider first expression that is, 2b+b.

Substituting the value of b=1,

2\left(1\right)+\left(1\right)=2+1=3 ....1

Substituting the value of b=2,

2\left(2\right)+\left(2\right)=4+2=6 ....2

Substituting the value of b=3,

2\left(3\right)+\left(3\right)=6+3=9 ....3

Consider second expression that is, 3b.

Substituting the value of b=1,

3\left(1\right)=3 ....4

Substituting the value of b=2,

3\left(2\right)=6 ....5

Substituting the value of b=3,

3\left(3\right)=9 ....6

For value of b=1, equation 1 and equation 4 are same, for value of b=2, equation 2 and equation 5 are same and for value of b=3 equation 3 and equation 6 are same.

Therefore both expression are same for all values of b.
