((1/3)x - 5) + 171 = x
combine like terms...move the x’s to one side...
166 = (2/3)x
get x by itself...
166 (3/2) = x
249 = x

Answer:

12.5r + 200 = 12.5*2r

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

Rate of Hoppertunity = r

Rate of Dortmund = 2r as it is twice as fast

<h3>Solution</h3>

Let the distance Hoppertunity runs be d, then the distance Dortmund runs is d + 200 m

Since it took 12.5 seconds Dortmund to catch Hoppertunity, it can be expressed as:

d = 12.5r for Hoppertunity
d + 200 =12.5*2r for Dortmund

<u>By replacing d in the second equation, we get:</u>

12.5r + 200 = 12.5*2r

<u>Soving</u>:

12.5r = 200
r = 200/12.5
r = 16 m/sec

Hoppertunity's rate is 16 m/sec

Dortmund's rate is 32 m/sec

You wish to prove that three propositions p1, p2, and p3 are equivalent. will it suffice to show that p1 --> p2, p2 --> p3

kompoz [17]

Answer:

It is sufficient to prove that $p_1\implies p_2, p_2\implies p_3, p_3\implies p_1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The propositions $p_1,p_2,p_3$ being equivalent means they should always have the same truth value. If one of them is true, then all of them must be true. And if one of them is false, then all of them must be false.

Suppose we've proven that $p_1\implies p_2, p_2\implies p_3, p_3\implies p_1$ (call these first, second and third implications).

If $p_1$ was true, then by the first implication that we proved, it would follow that $p_2$ is also true. And then by the second implication that we prove it would follow then that $p_3$ is also true. Therefore the three of them would be true. Notice the reasoning would have been the same if we had started assuming that the one that was true was either $p_2~or~p_3$ . So one of them being true makes all of them be true.

On the other hand, if $p_1$ was false, then by the third implication that we proved, it would follow that $p_3$ has to be false (otherwise $p_1$ would have to be true, which would be a contradiction). And then, since $p_3$ is false, by the second implication that we proved it would follow that $p_2$ is false (otherwise $p_3$ would have to be true, which would be a contradiction). Therefore the three of them would be false. Notice the reasoning would have been the same if we had started assuming that the one that was false was either $p_2~or~p_3$ . So one of them being false makes all of them be false.

So, the three propositions always have the same truth value, and so they're all equivalent.

Does doubling the radius of a sphere double the surface area? Explain your reasoning using an example.

Annette [7]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

because area of sphere equals =

$4\pi \: r{2}$

so if we doubled the radius the surface area will be doubled
