3x + 1 + 5x = 7 + 15 + 7x
8x + 1 = 22 + 7x
x = 21
Answer:
The boys would have traveled two hours to be at the same point on the trail
Step-by-step explanation:
At the same point on the trail, the two boys would have traveled the same distance.
What this means is that the distance traveled by Neal would be equal to the distance traveled by Abel
Thus, we equate the equation of thur distances.
That would be;
14t = 11t + 6
14t -11t = 6
3t = 6
t = 2 hours
Answer: A) 18.2 minutes
B) 4.5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Maxine can mow one lawn in 24 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/24 of the lawn per minute.
Sammie can mow one lanw in 36 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/36 of the lawn per minute.
The amount of the lawn that each has left to lawn by the minute x is:
Maxine = 1 -(1/24)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/36)*x
we want to find the value of x such that:
2*(1 - (1/24)*x) = 1 - *(1/36)*x
which means that the amount that Sammie has left is two times the amount that Maxine has left to mow.
2 - (1/12)*x = 1 - (1/36)*x
2 - 1 = (1/12 - 1/36)*x
1/0.055 = x = 18.2
by the minute 18.2
B) Similar to before, here the rates are:
For Maxine, R = 1/6
For Sammie, R = 1/9
The amount they have left to mow by minute x is:
Maxine = 1 - (1/6)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/9)*x
We want to solve, similar to before.
2( 1 - (1/6)*x) = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - (1/3)*x = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - 1 = (1/3 - 1/9)*x
1 = (2/9)*x
1*9/2 = x = 4.5
So here the solution is 4.5 minutes. Hope this helps
Measure of ∠B is 110°
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find ∠B of the parallelogram.
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
⇒ ∠B = ∠D
⇒ ∠B = (5x + 10)°
- Step 2: Use theorems of quadrilaterals to form equations to find x and y.
Now, angles in a parallelogram are equal to 360°.
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
⇒ (3x + y)° + (5x + 10)° + (5y + 20)° + (5x + 10)° = 360°
⇒ 13x + 6y + 40° = 360°
⇒ 13x + 6y = 320° ------ (1)
Also, adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary.
⇒ ∠A + ∠D = 180°
⇒ (3x + y)° + (5x + 10)° = 180°
⇒ 8x + y = 170° ----------- (2)
- Step 3: Solve the 2 equations to find x and y.
13x + 6y = 320
48x + 6y = 1020 (After multiplying eq. 2 with 6 to make coefficients equal)
Subtract (2) from (1)
⇒ -35x = -700
∴ x = 20
⇒ (5x + 10)° = 100 + 10 = 110°
It is already in simplest form, since 17 is a prime number.
