The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.

The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.

The speed ratio is ...

... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1

so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...

... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.

Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.

What is the linear equation for this graph? (y=mx+b)
mart [117]

Answer:

y = -3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the y-intercept is -3 as shown in the graph, so, b = -3

if you count, the rise is 3 and the run is -1, so the slope will be -3/1

-3/1 equals to -3

y = -3x - 3

Solve for . Simplify your answer as much as possible. please help
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

-34=7(x+8)+8x

First, distribute the 7 into the (x+8) and simplify:

-34=7(x)+7(8)+8x\\-34=7x+56+8x

Combine the like terms 7x and 8x by adding them together:

-34=56+15x

Subtract 56 from both sides to isolate the x:

-34-56=15x+56-56\\15x=-90

Divide both sides by 15 to get x:

x=-90/15=-6

Help im confusted about remainder therom
Schach [20]

Answer:

(x + 2) is a factor of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the remainder theorem to divide f(x) by (x - h)

Evaluate f(h) and if equal to 0 then (x - h) is a factor

f(- 3) = (- 3)³ - 7(- 3)² + 36 = - 27 - 63 + 36 ≠ 0

f(- 2) = (- 2)³ - 7(- 2)² + 36 = - 8 - 28 + 36 = 0

f(- 6) = (- 6)³ - 7(- 6)² + 36 = - 216 - 252 + 36 ≠ 0

f(2) = 2³ - 7(2)² + 36 = 8 - 28 + 36 = 16 ≠ 0

Hence (x + 2) is a factor of f(x)
