If you really want to figure this out you make an equation to solve for the time
let's let
x = time from Elena to Jada and
x = time from Jada to Elena
12 then the equation
12 = 5x +3x
would help figuring out their distance say for one of them
12 = x(5+3)
12/8 = x
1.5 = x
1. 5 hours they will meet up

ANSWER

It took 1 hour 30 minutes

EXPLANATION

It was given that Elena and Jada are 12 miles apart.

This means that the distance between them is

d = 12 \: miles

We use the formula,

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

If Elena covers d miles in
t_1 \: hours

Then Jada will cover,
( 12-d) \: miles

in
t_2 \: hours

We were told that Elena runs at a constant speed of 5 miles per hour.

This implies that,
5 = \frac{d}{t_1}

t_1= \frac{d}{5} ...eqn1

and Jadda walks a constant speed of 3 miles per hour.

This implies that,

3 = \frac{12-d}{t_2}

This implies that,

t_2 = \frac{12-d}{3} ...eqn2

When Elena and Jada meets,then

t_2 = t_1

We equate the two equations and solve. This implies that,

\frac{d}{5} = \frac{12-d}{3}

We cross multiply to get,

3d = 5(12-d)

3d = 60-5d

This implies that,

8d= 60

d = 7.5

The time they met was after

\frac{7.5}{5} = 1.5\: hours

Which equation can be solved to find one of the missing side lengths in the triangle?aB60512 unitsАCOS(60°) =22 믕cos(60°) = 12Su
Mekhanik [1.2K]

In a right rectangle, we have:

\sin \alpha=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\cos \alpha=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{hypotenuse}

For your exercice, hypotenuse=12

The exercise also inform the angle 60°, then:

\sin \text{ 60}=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\frac{b}{12}\cos 60=\frac{adjacent}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\frac{a}{12}

How to solve this- <br>(2y-1)^2-4(2y-1) +4<br><br><br>​

STEP
1
:
Equation at the end of step 1

(((2y - 1)2) - 4 • (2y - 1)) + 4
STEP
2
:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 4y2-12y+9

The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12y its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36

Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .

-36 + -1 = -37
-18 + -2 = -20
-12 + -3 = -15
-9 + -4 = -13
-6 + -6 = -12 That's it
