A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 m

ph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.

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 :)

Two polygons are similar. The perimeter of the larger polygon is 120 yards and the ratio of the corresponding side lengths is 1/
Kay [80]

Answer:

20 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Two Given polygons are similar :

Ratio of corresponding sides =. 1/6

Perimeter of larger polygon = 120 yards

Perimeter of smaller = p

Since they are similar, and yhe ratio of their sides Given, we use the relation :

(Smaller perimeter / larger perimeter) = (smaller side / larger side)

(p / 120) = (1 /6)

Cross multiply :

6p = 120

p = 120/6

p = 20 yards

Answer:

y=5x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the y intercept for the scatterplot is 25, that means that the only equation that matches the graph is y=5x+25

y=5(0)+25

y=0+25

The constant of proportionality is always the point___________, where k is the constant of proportionality
TiliK225 [7]
Let's take as example a linear function of the form:
 y = kx.
 Where,
 k is the constant of proportionality.
 Therefore, the proportionality constant is the point:
 (x, kx)
 Generically it is always the point:
 (x, k * f (x))
 Where, f (x) is a function proportional to x.
 answer:
 The constant of proportionality is always the point (x, k * f (x)), where k is the constant of proportionality.
