Answer:

UN = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

(4x - 3)² = (3x + 3)² + x² ← distribute both sides

16x² - 24x + 9 = 9x² + 18x + 9 + x² ← simplify

16x² - 24x + 9 = 10x² + 18x + 9 ( subtract 10x² + 18x + 9 from both sides )

6x² - 42x = 0 ← factor out 6x from each term

6x(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

6x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 7

Hence UN = x = 7 and SU = 4x - 3 = (4 × 7) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

What is the product?

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Third option: 2x^3-11x^2+16x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The product to be found is:

$(x-3)(2x^2-5x+1)$

Distributive property will be used for the product:

$x(2x^2-5x+1)-3(2x^2-5x+1)\\$

Multiplication will give us:

$=2x^3-5x^2+x-6x^2+15x-3\\Combining\ alike\ terms\\=2x^3-5x^2-6x^2+x+15x-3\\=2x^3-11x^2+16x-3$

The product is: 2x^3-11x^2+16x-3

Hence, third option is the correct answer ..

Adam leaves school at 4 p.m. and walks home at a constant pace of three mph. Amy leaves school thirty minutes later, but she bro

madam [21]

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam- 3 mph = 20 minutes a mile

Amy- 12 mph = 5 minutes a mile

Adam left 30 minutes prior to Amy so he is a mile and a half ahead before amy even starts.

30 minutes = 1.5 miles (Adam)

7.5 minutes = 1.5 miles (Amy)

but with this being said you have to continue to add time and miles to Adam because he's now gone an extra 7.5 minutes too.

45 minutes = 2.25 miles

15 minues = 3 miles

no youre too far and Amy is now further so we have to go back some

40 minutes = 2 miles

10 minutes = 2 miles

With all this being said Amy only needs to ride her bike for 10 minutes before she catches back up to Adam
