A train traveling at a constant speed takes a passenger from Deer Lake to Liberty, stopping first at Summerville and next at Cyp

ress before arring at Liberty. It takes three times as long to go from Deer Lake to Summerville as it does to go from Summerville to Cypress. It takes twice as long to go from Cypress to Liberty as it does to go from Summerville to Cypress. How far is the ride from Deer Lake to Cypress if the entire trip is 360 miles? Name a geometric postulate or theorem used to find the solution.

Deer Lake - Summerville - Cypress - Liberty
Deer Lake to Summerville is 3
Summerville to Cypress is 1
Cypress to Liberty is 2
So if the entire trip is 360 miles, then you will take 3+1+2=6.
So from Deer Lake to Cypress, it would be 3+1=4.
So 4/6.
360÷6=60
Therefore 60×4=
240 Miles from Deer Lake to Cypress!

Answer:

The ride from Deer Lake to Cypress is 240 [mi]. To find the solution we use the segment addition postulate

Explanation:

The segment addition postulate states that for a line with initial point A and finish point C, a third point B lies in the segment only if the distances between points satisfies the following equation:

  • AB + BC = AC

In this case, we have a line with four points:

A - Deer Lake

B - Summerville

C - Cypress

D - Liberty  

And we are required to find the distance from Deer Lake to Cypress (AC) knowing that AD = 360 [mi] and knowing that:

  • AD = AB + BC + CD --> This is the equation derived from the segment addition postulate.
  • AB = 3BC --> Going from Deer Lake to Summerville takes three times as long than going from Summerville to Cypress. Since the speed is constant, three times the time means three times the distance.
  • CD = 2BC --> (Same expalantion as above, except for different locations)

We end up with 3 equations and 3 unknowns. All we need to do now is to solve it

  1. Substitue equation 2 and 3 in equation 1 and solve for BC
  2. Use equation 2 to get AB
  3. Use equation 3 to get BC

They want us to find AC (Deer Lake to Cypress), we knoe the postulate, we know the values:

  • AC = AB + BC = 180 + 60
  • AC = 240 [mi]

Find x, y<br><br> Please try to explain how you did it

I believe this is scale factor? SF=new/old. 10/8= a scale factor of 1.25 (the image gets 1.25x bigger). To find x, multiply 5 by 1.25 and subtract the original length of 5 (you subtract this length because x is only the value of the new part of the triangle). X=6.25-5, X=1.25. Try to find y yourself using this scale factor. (Brainliest would be appreciated)

The sum of two numbers is 95. If the larger is increased by twice the smaller, the result is 120. Find the numbers.
adelina 88 [10]
Hello!

You can make two expressions based on what you know

let x equal the larger number
let y equal the smaller number

x + y = 95
x + 2y = 120

We can use elimination to get rid of x

You can subtract the two equation to get rid of x

-y = -25

Since y is negative we can multiply both sides by -1 to make y positive

y = 25

Now we can put this into one of the other equations to find x

x + 25 = 95

subtract 95 from both sides

x = 70

The answers are 70 and 25

Hope this helps!

Can you help with did pretty please I'm stuck help just a, c ,d thanks luv.

Answer:

a) The slope of the function is 3.

c) The equation is represented by n(t) = 3\cdot t + 35.

d) The y-intercept of the function is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) According to the statement, we must assume that number of pieces of mail that must be hand-sorted (dependent variable) is represented by a linear function in terms of time (independent variable). That is:

n(t) = m\cdot t + n_{o} (1)

Where:

m - Slope, measured in number of pieces per minute.

t - Time, measured in minutes.

n_{o} - Initial number of pieces of mail that must be hand-sorted (y-intercept), measured in pieces.

n - Current number of pieces of mail that must be hand-sorted, measured in pieces.

From Geometry, we know that a line can be formed by know two distinct points. If we know that n(15\,min) = 80\,p and n(45\,min) = 170\,p, then the following system of linear equations is formed:

15\cdot m + n_{o} = 80 (2)

45\cdot m + n_{o} = 170 (3)

The solution of the system of equations is:

m = 3 and n_{o} = 35

The slope of the function is 3.

c) By (1) and using results from a) we conclude that the equation function is:

n(t) = 3\cdot t + 35 (4)

d) The y-intercept of the function is 35.
