Answer:

The speed of right going rider is 9 mph

The speed of left going rider is 18 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total distance apart both the riders = 54 miles

Let The speed of right going rider = x mph

and The speed of left going rider = 2 x  mph

The Distance cover by right going rider = D miles

The Distance cover by left going rider = 54 - D  miles

Total time for both = 2 hours

So, Time = \dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}

Or ,  Distance = speed × Time

For right going rider

       D = x × 2

For left going rider

      54 - D = 2 x × 2

Or, from first equation

     54 - 2 x = 4 x

or, 54 = 4 x + 2 x

or, 6 x = 54

∴   x = \frac{54}{6}

I.e x = 9 mph

So, The speed of right going rider = 9 mph

and The speed of left going rider = 2 × 9 = 18  mph

Hence The speed of right going rider is 9 mph

and The speed of left going rider is 18 mph   answer

1. B she started with 36 photographs,
22 = b - 18 + 13 - 9
b = 22 + 18 - 13 + 9
b = 36

I translated it into an equation, so I would say C, but since B is the only one with the right answer...

2. A
78 - 5 = 73
73 × 365 = 26645

(n^3 +67² + 4n - 2)/(n + 1)
Alla [95]

Answer:

(n^3 + 4 n + 4487)/(n + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(n^3 + 4 n - 2 + 67^2)/(n + 1)

| | 6 | 7

× | | 6 | 7

| 4 | 6 | 9

4 | 0 | 2 | 0

4 | 4 | 8 | 9:

(n^3 + 4 n - 2 + 4489)/(n + 1)

Grouping like terms, n^3 + 4 n - 2 + 4489 = n^3 + 4 n + (4489 - 2):

(n^3 + 4 n + (4489 - 2))/(n + 1)

4489 - 2 = 4487:

Answer: (n^3 + 4 n + 4487)/(n + 1)

Answer:

  x = 8

  y = 4sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your knowledge of special triangles tells you the side ratios of a 30°-60°-90° right triangle are ...

  1 : √3 : 2 = 4 : y : x

Multiplying the reduced ratios by 4 gives ...

  4 : y : x = 4 : 4√3 : 8

That is, ...

  x = 8

  y = 4√3

a model of a car is amde to a scale of 1:40. the volume of the model is 45cm^3. calcualte the volume of the car. give your answe
spin [16.1K]

The volume of the car is 1800cm^3 which is equivalent to 0.0018m^3

<h3>Scale modelling</h3>

Given the scale factor that model of a car is amde to a scale of 1:40, Giving that the model as 45cm^3, this means that;

1 = 45cm^2

Determine the volume of the car

40 = x

Find the ratio

1/40 = 45/x

x = 40*45

x = 1800cm^3

x = 0.0018m^3

Hence the volume of the car is 1800cm^3 which is equivalent to 0.0018m^3
