D. 20/3 I think it’s the answe
Hello!
There are 4 cheetahs. There are 3 times as many elephants than cheetahs. Multiply:
4 • 3 = 12
12 + 4 = 16
Rebecca saw 16 animals at the zoo.
I really hope you found this helpful! :)
Answer:
(q/r)*2
Step-by-step explanation:
divide q and r, then multiply the result
The answer is: x = 7 - √53 or x = 7 + √53
The general quadratic equation is: ax² + bx + c =
0.
But, by completing the square we turn it into: a(x + d)² + e = 0, where:<span>
d = b/2a
e = c - b²/4a
Our quadratic equation is x² - 14x -4 = 0, which is
after rearrangement:
So, a = 1, b = -14, c = -4
Let's first calculate d and e:
d = b/2a = -14/2*1 = -14/2 = -7
e = c - b²/4a = -4 - (-14)</span>²/4*1 = -4 - 196/4 = -4 - 49 = -53<span>
By completing the square we have:
a(x + d)² + e = 0
1(x + (-7))</span>² + (-53) = 0
(x - 7)² - 53 = 0
(x - 7)² = 53
x - 7 = +/-√53
x = 7 +/- √53
Therefore, the solutions are:
x = 7 - √53
or
x = 7 + √53
We need to do a system of equations here.
x + y = 275 (if you travel <em>x</em> km by bike and <em>y </em>km by bus, then you travel 275 km as given in the problem)
y = x + 55 (the problem stated that they were bussed (y) the amount they biked plus 55 more km (x + 55))
The second equation is already solved for y. So, we can plug it in to the first equation.
x + (x + 55) = 275
2x + 55 = 275 [combine x terms]
2x = 220 [subtract 55 from both sides]
x = 110 [divide by 2 to isolate x and solve for it]
Now we know that x is 110, the distance they traveled by bike.
And that's what we needed to answer the problem!
