Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let our Motorcycle variable=X

We know that it travels twice the speed so it's 2M

We also know that the car is 30 mph slower

so our equation is : 2x-30

2. As we're finding speed we will be using the equation: speed=distance X time

So: it also says that we need to find the speed after 2 hours

So by adding in 2 this will be: 2(2x-30)

3. The question also stated that it'll be 20mph ahead (car)

So the equation which we can work out now is

2(2x-30)= 2x+20

4. <u>We can find X</u>

2(2x-30)=2x+20 (Multiply out brackets)

4x-60=2M+20 (Subtract 2M as it's less than 4M)

2x-60=20 (Add 60 as we need to find M)

2x=80 (Divide by 2 as 80 is multiple of 2)

x=40 mph

So, x=40 mph

5. <u>Find the speed of the car and motorcycle</u>

Motorcycle: 40 mph

Car: By using 2x-30

Substitute the 40 with the 2

So, 2*40 is 180

180-30 = 50 mph

Hence, the car is 50 mph and the motorcycle speed is 40 mph

Hope this helps!!!

Have a nice day :)

Find the distance between points A and C round to the nearest tenth.
Taya2010 [7]

Well the first thing that came to my mind was to do rise/run and doing that I got 6/5 which I added together to get 11 but since that's obviously not correct I assumed it was a little under so the answer I got was 7.8

Really hope this helps!

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Correct choice is C). mn=ac

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement is that the first step in factoring a trinomial of the form is to find two numbers, m and n, such that m + n = b and _____.

We know that when we factor polynomial of type ax^2+bx+c ,product of both numbers m and n must be same as product of a and c.

Hence correct choice is C). mn=ac
