Answer:

A) d = 48t, d in miles, t in hours

B)d = 32t, d in miles, t in hours

C)y = 8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

16 miles in 20 mins = 48 mph

16 miles in 30 mins = 32 mph

The boat speed is the average = (48 + 32)/2 = 40 mph

The current is the difference = 8 mph

At a collage bookstore Clara purchased a math textbook and a novel that cost a total of $54 not including tax if the price of th
diamong [38]

Answer:

m+n=54 and m=3n+8 is the system of equations that could be used to determine the price of each book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total cost of maths book and novel = $54

Let,

Cost of maths book = m

Cost of novel = n

According to given statement;

m+n=54      Eqn 1

the price of the math textbook, m, is $8 more than 3 times the price of the novel

m = 3n+8     Eqn 2

m+n=54 and m=3n+8 is the system of equations that could be used to determine the price of each book.

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 9 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

2.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Half-life t1/2 = 9 years

Initial mass = I = 70 grams

A = final mass = 56 grams

t = time taken to reach final amount

Using the exponential half life relation :

A = I(0.5)^t/t1/2

56 = 70(0.5)^t/9

56/70 = 0.5^t/9

0.8 = 0.5^t/9

Log 0.8 = log 0.5^t/9

−0.096910 = −0.301029 * t/9

t/9 = 0.096910 / 0.301029

t/9 = 0.3219291

t = 0.3219291 * 9

t = 2.8973619

t = 2.9 years

A jewelry designer is making a pendant. The pendant will be a circular dis (center O) with a circular hold cut out of it, as sho
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

2884.8 millimeters squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The radius of the disc is 35 millimeters, so the area of it is:

πr^{2} = 3.14*35^{2} = 3846.5

Then, we find out the area of the circular hold cut out of the bigger one, its radius is a haft of the radius of the bigger circle = 35/2 = 17.5

πr^{2} = 3.14*17.5^{2} =961.6

=>  the area of the pendant = 3846.5  - 961.6  =2884.8 millimeters squared

Find the value of x in the<br> isosceles triangle shown below.<br> Help plzzzz
zysi [14]

Answer:

x =2

Option D is correct !!!

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem we can solve this

we know that:

{x}^{2}  +  {4}^{2}  =  \sqrt{20} {}^{2}

{x}^{2}  =  \sqrt{20} ^{2}   - 16

{x}^{2} = 20 - 16

x = 2
