Answer:

18 + 22.5 = 40 + .5; confirms out solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A man travels from Town X to Town Y at an average rate of 50 mph and returns at an average rate of 40 mph. He takes a 1/2 hour longer than he would take if he made the round trip at an average of 45 mph. What is the distance from Town X to Town Y

:

Let d = distance from x to y

:

Write a time equation; time = distance%2Fspeed

Different speed roundtrip time = 1 speed roundtrip time + half/hour

d%2F50 + d%2F40 = 2d%2F45 + 1%2F2

Multiply equation by 1800 to get rid of the denominators:

1800*d%2F50 + 1800*d%2F40 = 1800*2d%2F45 + 1800*1%2F2

Cancel the denominators and you have:

:

36d + 45d = 40(2d) + 900

:

81d = 80d + 900

:

81d - 80d = 900

:

d = 900 miles from x to y

:

:

Check solution in: d%2F50 + d%2F40 = 2d%2F45 + 1%2F2

900%2F50 + 900%2F40 = 1800%2F45 + 1%2F2

18 + 22.5 = 40 + .5; confirms out solution

What is 520 divided by 8
erastova [34]
First see how many times can 8 go into 52. So 8 goes 6 times, and it equals to; 48
Now subtract 48 from 52; 52-48= 4

Finally bring down the 0 next to the 4; 40

Now to get you final answer find out how many times can 8 go into 40; 5
Since it goes exactly 5 times then your final answer would be; 65
Hope this helps! :)

Need help with a system of equations
sweet [91]

Answer:

\boxed{x - y = -2\sqrt{7}}

Given:

x + y = 4 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  = 22 \\  \\  {x}^{4}  =  {y}^{4}  - 176 \sqrt{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

=  >  {x}^{4}  =  {y}^{4}  - 176 \sqrt{7}  \\  \\  =  >  {x}^{4}  -  {y}^{4}  =  - 176 \sqrt{7}  \\  \\  =  >  {( {x}^{2}) }^{2}  -  { ({y}^{2}) }^{2}  =  - 176 \sqrt{7}  \\  \\  =  > ( {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} )( {x}^{2}  -  {y}^{2} ) =  - 176 \sqrt{7}  \\  \\  =  > ( {x}^{2} +  {y}^{2})  (x + y)(x - y) =  - 176 \sqrt{?}  \\  \\  =  > 22 \times 4(x - y) =  - 176 \sqrt{7}  \\  \\  =  > 88(x - y) =  - 176 \sqrt{7}  \\  \\ =  >  x - y =  -  \frac{176 \sqrt{7} }{88}  \\  \\  =  > x - y =  - 2 \sqrt{7}

Identity used:

{x}^{2}  -  {y}^{2} = (x + y)(x - y)
