Louisa ran at an average speed of five miles per hour along an entire circular park path. Calvin ran along the same path in the

opposite direction at an average speed of six miles per hour. It took Calvin 30 minutes less than it took Louisa to run the full path once. How many miles did Louisa run when she completed one circular path?

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the miles in the circular park path, t_{L} the time Louisa takes to finish and t_{C} the time Calvin takes to finish both in hours.

Then x, the longitude is equal to the velocity times the time used to finish. So

x=5t_{L}

x=6t_{C}

And the difference between Louisa's time and Calvin' time is 30 minutes, half an hour. So:

t_{C}=t_{L}-0.5

Three equations, three unknowns, the system can be solved.

Equalizing the equation with x :

5t_{L}=6t_{C}

In this last equation replace t_{C}  with the other equation and solve:

5t_{L}=6(t_{L}-0.5)\\ 5t_{L}=6t_{L}-3\\ 3=6t_{L}-5t_{L}\\ 3=t_{L}\\ t_{L}=3

With Louisa's time find x:

x=5t_{L}\\ x=5(3)\\ x=15

Charlotte is making 20 flower bouquets 4/5 of the bouquet are daisies and the rest are tulips how many bouquets are tulips
Annette [7]

Answer:

4 bouquets

Step-by-step explanation:

5/5 = 20 flower bouquets.

Find out how much flower bouquets there are when it's 1/5.

5/5 = 20

1/5 = 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Since tulips are 1/5 as 5/5 - 4/5 = 1/5, 4 bouquets are tulips.

Find the inverse of g(x)=1/3x - 7 and then find its domain and range if you can show steps that would be gladly appreciated than
Schach [20]

Answer:

g-1(x) = 3(x + 7).

Domain is All Real values of x.

Range is All Real values of the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = 1/3 x - 7

1/3 x = y + 7

Multiply both sides by 3:

x = 3(y + 7)

So the inverse of g(x) = g-1(x) = 3(x + 7).

Domain is All Real values of x.

Range is All Real values of the function.

Does anyone know if this is correct or how to do this? (part a,b, and c)
stepladder [879]

 Part A you would use 200-L ( since you have 400 feet total 200 feet would equal length plus width)

Part B 200 - 80 = 120

Part C 200-90 = 110

area = 90 x 110 = 9900 square feet

How do u write 5(2x - 1) in a distributive property
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

5(2x-1) = 5(2x) - 5(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that multiplying a sum or difference of two terms by a number is equal to multiplying the same number with each term of the sum or difference separately and then adding the products.

It can be written as:

a(b+c) = ab + ac

or

a(b-c) = ab - ac

So, for the given question,

=>5(2x-1) = 5(2x) - 5(1)
