Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.

Leanne multiplied 8 x 4.3 and got 32.24. Is Leanne correct?Use an area model to explain your answer
dlinn [17]

Answer:

No, not correct.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 8 * 4.3 can be broken up as follows:

8 * (4 + 0.3)

and that 4*8 =32, and that 0.3(8) = 2.4 (not 0.24).

Then 8 * (4 + 0.3) becomes 32 + 2.4 = 34.4

Given the equation 6/x=3/k+2, and the constraints x ≠ 0 and k ≠-2, what is x in terms of k?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) 2k+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for terms of x, we need to. she sure that x is on its own side while every other term is on the other side.

To start, we will cross multiply. If we have a/b=c/d, then ad=bc

We can perform the same calculation here,

6/x=3/(k+2)

6(k+2)=3x

Divide both sides by 3

2(k+2)=x

x=2k+4
