Answer: 45 dollars and it was a distance of 5 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation: What i did was start with 30, then keep adding 3 till i got the a multiple of 5.

30 + 3 = 33

33 + 3 = 36

36 + 3 = 39

39 + 3 = 42

42 + 3 = 45

So already i know that it is 5 kilometers, because i added 3 to 30 five times.

No i will do that with the second company

20 + 5 = 25

25 + 5 = 30

30 + 5 = 35

35 + 5 =  40

40 + 5 = 45

That is also 5 kilometers, because i added 5 to 20 five times. I also know they are the same price, because they both added to 45 dollars.

Thats how i solved it.

I really hope that helps!

The system of equations
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

z = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is:

xy/(x + y) = 1 ...........................(1)

xz/(x + z) = 2...........................(2)

yz/(y + z) = 3...........................(3)

From (1): x + y = xy

=> y = xy - x

y = x(y - 1)

x = y/(y - 1).......................................(4)

From (2): 2(x + z) = xz

=> 2x + 2z = xz

2x = xz - 2z

2x = z(x - 2)

z = 2x/(x - 2) ....................................(5)

From (3): 3(y + z) = yz

=> 3y + 3z = yz

3y = yz - 3z

3y = z(y - 3)

z = 3y/(y - 3)....................................(6)

Comparing (5) and (6)

2x/(x - 2) = 3y/(y - 3)

2x(y - 3) = 3y(x - 2)

2xy - 6x = 3xy - 6y

6(y - x) = xy .................................(7)

But from (1): xy = x + y

Using this in (7), we have

6(y - x) = x + y

6y - y - 6x - x = 0

5y - 7x = 0

5y = 7x

x = 5y/7................................................(8)

Using this in (4)

5y/7 = y/(y - 1)

1/(y - 1) = 5/7

(y - 1) = 7/5

y = 1 + 7/5

y = 12/5..........................................(9)

Using this in (8)

x = 5(12/5)/7 = 12/7 .......................(10)

Using (10) in (5)

z = 2x/(x - 2)

z = 2(12/7) ÷ (12/7 - 2)

= 24/7 ÷ -2/7

= 24/7 × (-7/2)

= -24/2 = -12

z = -12.

Please helppp!! Find the missing side . Round to the nearest tenth
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

7.  7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Tan of this angle to find the missing side (in this case, the side adjacent to the angle measuring 57°)

 Tan A = (opposite side)/(adjacent side)

    Tan 57° = 12/x

solve for x

           x(Tan 57°) = 12

               x = 12/(Tan 57°)

                 x = 7.8   (rounded to the nearest tenth)
