Answer: 1 hour 15min

Step-by-step explanation:

When Paul passes the gas station Mary si already 12.5 miles away

X=v t = 50mph 0.25h = 12.5 miles. (15min equals a quarter hour)

From that moment to the meeting point we’ll have only one t (time) and one x (final point) for both cars

For Mary we have

X= Xo + v t= 12.5 miles + 50mph t

For Paul we have

X=v t = 60mph t

As x si the same in both equations

60mph t = 12.5 miles + 50mph t

(60mph - 50mph) t = 12.5miles

10mph t = 12.5miles

t = 12.5miles/10mph

t = 1,25 h

In the given figure p=120° and y : z=2 : 3 Find x, y and z​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

x = 60°

y = 72°

z = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 180 - p = 180 - 120 = 60

Since y;z = 3:2 ,   2y = 3z  or z = 2y/3

Now, x + y + z = 180

60 + y + 2y/3 = 180     Multiply thru by 3 to remove the fraction

180 + 3y + 2y = 540

180 + 5y = 540

5y = 360

y = 72

z = 2(72)/3 = 48

Check:  60 + 72 + 48 = 180

Help on number six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15
shepuryov [24]
Easiest ways to solve them are to take the denominator and numerator and and divide the one you are asked to use to answer and divide and see if it works on both. 
  Example: first     105 / 15 = 7 )  Then: 105 / 7 = 15
                             119              )             119 / 7 = 17

Hope I helped. :D

FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST OR FIVE STARS Define the domain and range of the function.
uysha [10]

Answer:

Domain: (-∞, ∞)

Range: (-∞, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain are the x-values included in the function (the horizontal axis).

The range are the y-values included in the function (the vertical axis).

The two arrows on the ends of the line (pointing upwards and downwards respectively) indicate that the function goes in those direction for infinity. Therefore, if there are an infinite amount of y-values, the range is (-∞, ∞).

While the slope is quite steep, there is still a slope and slowly "expands" the line on the horizontal axis. Because there is no limit to the y-values, the domain will also expand infinitely. Therefore, the domain is also (-∞, ∞).

If f(x) = 3x +9 x when f(x) = 30
den301095 [7]

Answer:

x=5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When f(x)=30, we have 3x+9x=30.

Combining like terms on the right side, we have 12x=30.

Finally, dividing by 12 we get x=30/12.

We note that 30=6*5 and 12=6*2, so 30/12=5/2.

So, \boxed{x=5/2} and we're done!
