Answer:

The speed of the cyclist is 10 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by cyclist = D_1= 20 miles

The distance cover by biker =  D_2 = 6 miles

The speed of biker = S_2 = s  mph

The speed of cyclist = S_1= 7 + s  mph

The time taken by both cyclist and biker =  t hour

Now. Distance = Speed × Time

So,  D_1 =   S_1 × t

Or, 20 = s × t

Or, t = \frac{20}{7+s}             .....1

And ,

D_2 =   S_2 × t

or, 6 = s t              

Or,  t = \frac{6}{s}  ....2

From Eq  1 and 2

I.e \frac{20}{7+s} = \frac{6}{s}

Or, 20 s = 6 ( 7 + s )

Or, 20 s - 6 s = 42

Or, 14 s = 42

∴   s = \frac{42}{14}

I,e s = 3 miles per hour

So, The speed of biker = S_2 = s = 3 miles per hour

And The speed of cyclist = S_1= 7 + s = 7 + 3= 10 miles per hour

Hence The speed of the cyclist is 10 miles per hour . Answer

Luda [366]
If you would like to evaluate u + xy, you can do this using the following steps:

u = 18, x = 10, y = 8
u + xy = 18 + 10 * 8 = 18 + 80 = 98

The correct result would be C. 98.

Answer:

D) y=-1/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

D) y=-1/2x+4

In order to be parallel, it has to have the same slope (-1/2).  Also, if you plug in (-2,5) for x and y, it does pass through those coordinates.
