Answer:

3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cyclists leave town at the same time on the same road going in  the same direction.

Cyclist A is going 6 mph faster than cyclist B

Let speed of cyclist B be x mph

Speed of cyclist A be (x+6) mph

Both cyclist leave town at the same time and traveled 8 hours.  

  • Distance covered by cyclist A in 8 hours= 8(x+6)
  • Distance covered by cyclist B in 8 hours= 8x

After 8 hours cyclist A has traveled 3 times the distance as cyclist B

Therefore, 8(x+6) = 3(8x)

8x + 48 = 24x

24x - 8x = 48

       16x = 48

          x = 3 mph

Hence, The speed of cyclist B was 3 mph

Y-1= 3/2(x+1) write in standard form​
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

y = 3/2x (This should be the correct answer do to the fact the slope is 3/2 and the points on here are 1, 1 which would most likely mean the y-intercept is 0. So we don't need to write the y-intercept on this equation.

klemol [59]

Answer:

  Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make a triangle with non-zero area, the sum of the shorter two sides must be greater than the longest side.

Here, 4 + 4 > 7, so the lengths can form a triangle.
