Answer:6km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

when Alice finishes the race Becky is 8km From finishing line

and caitlin 12 km from finishing line.

Suppose t is the time require by Alice to finish the race

andV_a,V_b,V_c be the velocity of alice ,becky and caitlin

thus t=\frac{24}{V_a}=\frac{24-8}{V_b}=\frac{24-12}{V_c}

thus \frac{V_b}{V_c}=\frac{4}{3}

say t' is time required by beckey  to complete 8 km thus

V_b\times t'=8

therefore for Caitlin

V_c\times t'=\frac{8}{V_b}\times V_c=6

Thus caitlin will cover a distance of 6 km in t' time and 6 km away from finishing.

A grocery store has 120 bottles of spring
notka56 [123]

Question:

A grocery store has 120 bottles of spring water in stock.  The store orders bottles of spring water in cases of 24.  The store wants to order enough cases of spring water so it has more than 500 bottles in stock.  Which inequality best models this situation?

A.  24x + 120 > 500

B.  24x - 120 > 500

C.  24x + 500 > 120

D.  24(x+120) > 500

Answer:

Option  A.  24x + 120 > 500  is the inequality that best models this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Number of bottles of spring  water in the stock = 120

Each case of the spring water bottles contains 24 bottles

The store wants  to order enough cases of spring water so  that it has over 500 bottles in stock.

So there are already 120 bottles in stock .

The store will order

24x +120  > 500

where x  is the number of spring water bottle cases

Complete the square for 2x^2-4x=14
Charra [1.4K]

2x² - 4x = 14

<u>Divide by 2 through:</u>

x² - 2x = 7

<u>Add in the term (b/2)² :</u>

x² - 2x + (2/2)² = 7 + (2/2)²

<u>Complete the square:</u>

(x - 1)² = 7 + 1

<u>Combine like terms:</u>

(x - 1)² = 8

Answer: (x - 1)² = 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question did not ask to solve x. But here is the solution if needed to solve x:

(x - 1)² = 8

x - 1 = ±√8

x = 1 ±√+8

x =1 + 2√2 or x = 1 - 2√2

Answer: x =1 + 2√2 or x = 1 - 2√2
