When you distribute the problem become
4x+10=4x+12
Which is not possible. So your answer is no solution.
Hope that helps!

During the first part of a trip, a canoeist travels 96 miles at a certain speed. the canoeist travels 15 miles on the second pa

blondinia [14]

This problem is a problem using
d = r * t
First part of the trip
d = 96 miles
r = ??
t = ??

Second part of the trip
d = 15 miles
r = r - 5
t = 4 - t

Solve for r first.
96/r + 15/(r - 5) = 4 hours multiply through by r and r - 5
96(r - 5) + 15r = 4*(r - 5)(r) Remove the brackets on the left
96r - 480 + 15r = 4*r*(r - 5) Collect like terms on the left.
111r - 480 = 4r(r - 5) Remove the brackets on the right.
111r - 480 = 4r^2 - 20r Bring the left side over to the right side.
0 = 4r^2 - 20r - 111r + 480 Collect like terms.
0 = 4r^2 - 131r + 480

The only way I could do this was to use the quadratic equation.

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

a = 4

b = - 131

c = 480

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -(-131) \pm \sqrt{(-131)^{2} - 4*4*480 } }{2*4}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm \sqrt{(17161) - 7680 } }{8}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm \sqrt{9481 } }{8}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm 97.37 }{8}$

x = (131 + 97.38)/8
x = 28.55
x = (131 - 97.37)/8
x = 4.20

4.2 isn't going to work because the slower speed has to be larger than 5, otherwise you will get a negative speed (as this solution will give), so 4.20 is an extraneous solution.

r = 28.55 for the first part of the trip and
r = 23.55 for the second part of the trip.

Check.
Let's see if the times add up to 4
d/r = t
96/28.55 = 3.36
15/22.75 = 0.64

The times do = 4, so the rates are correct.

Answers
r1 = 28.55 for the 96 mile trip.
r2 = 23.55 for the 15 mile trip.

Student made five tetrahedrons, a three dimensional figure with four triangular faces and labeled the faces 1-4. use an equation

JulsSmile [24]

The probability is 1/1024.

Each tetrahedron has a 1/4 chance of landing on 3, since there are 4 sides and only one of them is marked 3.

Each tetrahedron roll is independent, since no roll is affected by another.

This means we multiply the probabilities:
1/4(1/4)(1/4)(1/4)(1/4) = 1/1024

P=$222 r=12% Y=10 A=?

sergey [27]

To solve for the A or the principal amount plus interest you can use two formulas:

A = P + I

Where: P = Principal
I = Interest

or you can use

A = P (1+ rt)

Where: P = principal
r = rate in decimal
t = time in years

With your given you can use the second one, without having to use the first.
Given that the Principal amount is $222 and the rate is 12% and time is 10 years, we first need to convert your rate into decimal by dividing the value in percent by 100 which will yield 0.12.

Then now we can just input the data that you know into the formula:
A = P(1+ rt)
= $222(1 + (0.12)(10))
= $222(2.2)
= $488.40

Your A is then equal to $488.40

If you need to get the simple interest all you need to use is the first formula given:

A = P + I
for the interest you transpose the P to the side of the A and you will get:
I = A - P
= $488.40 - $222
= $266.40

$266.40 is the added interest to the principal amount.
