3.4+0.5y +1.1=-4.5
3.4+1.1+0.5y= -4.5
4.5+0.5y=-4.5
move 4.5 to the other side
sign changes from +4.5 to -4.5
4.5-4.5+0.5y= -4.5-4.5
0.5y= -4.5-4.5
0.5y=-9
divide both sides by 0.5
0.5y/0.5= -9/0.5
Answer: y= -18
(4^2+8^2)^.5 = 8.944
It's not 12.
So 4,8,12 can't be the side lengths of a right triangle.
X represents the amount of weeks:
7+x for Germany and 3+2x for Tony they have to be equal for them to run the same distance:
3+2x=7+x
-3 from each side:
2x=4+x
-x from each side:
x=4
They run the same distance on the fourth week, that distance is 7+4=11
Hope this helps :)
They won't arrive exactly when the race starts, but they will arrive before the race starts because, assuming they leave exactly three hours before the race, they can drive a total of 150 miles in three hours (3h*50mi/h). Because they only need to drive 120 miles, they will make it to the race before it starts.
X to the 14th power over y to the 18th power is ur answer
