Answer:

The dog will catch the cat at  33.33 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> distance the cat runs before being caught by the dog,

Remember that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

v=d/t

solve for t

t=d/v

so

equate the time

x/24=(200+x)/30

30x=24(200+x)

30x=4,800+24x

30x-24x=4,800

x=4,800/6=800 m

t=d/v=800/24=33.33 sec

or

t=(800+200)/30=1,000/30=33.33 sec

Karen spends $450 on monthly bills. Of this total amount, 12% is for phone service, 1/10 is for internet service, and 2/9 is for
finlep [7]
12%= 0.12 = 12/100 = 108/900
1/10 = 90/900
2/9 = 200/900

108/900 + 90/900 + 200/900 = 398/900 used

900- 398 = 502

502/900 = 251/ 450

251/450 × 450 = 251

First term ,a=4 , common difference =4-7=-3, n =50
sum of first 50terms= (50/2)[2×4+(50-1)(-3)]

derivation of the formula for the sum of n terms
Progression, S
S=a1+a2+a3+a4+...+an

S=a1+(a1+d)+(a1+2d)+(a1+3d)+...+[a1+(n−1)d]   →   Equation (1)

S=an+an−1+an−2+an−3+...+a1

S=an+(an−d)+(an−2d)+(an−3d)+...+[an−(n−1)d]   →   Equation (2)

Add Equations (1) and (2)
2S=(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+...+(a1+an)

2S=n(a1+an)
S=n/2(a1+an)

Substitute an = a1 + (n - 1)d to the above equation, we have
S=n/2{a1+[a1+(n−1)d]}
S=n/2[2a1+(n−1)d]

I am having trouble with this problem. I need to find the lengths of this right triangle. How would you do this?
podryga [215]
You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle.  the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'

so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out

so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11

11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60

12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth

Kareendeep has $168.50 in her bank account. She buys x shirts for $5.5o each. Write and solve an equation Kareendeep can use to
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Equation: 5.5x = 168.5

Solution: 30 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create the equation where x is the number of shirts.

Since each shirt is $5.50, the cost of the shirts will be 5.50x

Set this equal to 168.50, since that is how much money Kareendeep has.

So, the equation will be 5.5x = 168.5

Now, solve this for x, the number of shirts she can buy:

5.5x = 168.5

Divide each side by 5.5

x = 30.6

Since we can only have a whole number of shirts, she can only buy 30 shirts.

So, the answer is 30 shirts.
