Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist
Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,
(x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40
Calculating gives x = 14
Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.

Answer:
C. x^5/2 + 6x^3/2 + 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x^3 + 6x^2 + x^1/2) / x^1/2
= x^(3 - 1/2) + 6 x(2-1/2) + 1
= x^5/2 + 6x^3/2 + 1.
A scalene triangle is a triangle that has 3 sides that are all different lengths.
Let these letters represent the problem:
a = 8.7
b = side 2
c = side 3
P = 54.6
To find the perimeter, we just need to add all the sides [ P = a + b + c ]
So, put what we have in the formula above.
54.6 = 8.7 + b + c
Best of Luck!

Answer:
D. -17%
Step-by-step explanation:
The change from March to April is (April - March) = (100 -120) = -20. As a fraction of the March bill, that is ...
-20/120 = -1/6
As a percentage, that change is ...
-1/6 × 100% ≈ -16.667% ≈ -17%
The electric bill changed by about -17% from March to April.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Water went up 4%; groceries went up about 14%, and restaurant changed by -15%.
The percentage change is found by ...
% change = ((new amount)/(original amount) -1) × 100%
Above, we have rearranged this to ...
% change = ((new amount) -(original amount))/(original amount) × 100%
