5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2


is the second or third Pythagorean triple on the list, which gives us the answer directly.


But if we didn't know that, let x be the short leg:


x^2 + (x+7)^2 = 13^2


2x^2 + 14 x + 49 - 169 = 0


x^2 + 7x  - 60 = 0


(x+12)(x-5)=0


Rejecting the negative root, x=5, other side 12, the Pythagorean triple we found.

Two cyclists start from 98 miles apart and begin racing toward each
kati45 [8]

The speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.

Let the speed of one bicyclist=x mph

Let the speed of the other bicyclist=(x+3) mph

Hence:

Speed of one bicyclist:

3x+3(x+3)+2=98

3x+3x+9+2=98

6x=87

Divide both side by 6x

x=87/6

x=14.5 mph

Speed of the other bicyclist:

x+3 mph

14.5 mph+3 mph

=17.5 mph

Inconclusion the speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.

marusya05 [52]

Let's compare!

Taylor ran 57 + 48 mins total. Sum would be 105 mins.

Mark ran 62 + 53 mins total. Sum would be 115 mins.

Clearly, the two sums are different when we compare them using subtraction.

115 - 105 = 10. Mark ran 10 mins longer than Taylor.
