recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.


we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} 12&1\\ 18&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{18}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies 12x=18\implies x=\cfrac{18}{12}\implies x=\cfrac{3}{2}


so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.

then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.

let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.

the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Hector&d&12&t+\frac{3}{2}\\[1em] Wanda&d&16&t \end{array}\qquad \implies \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)\\[1em] d=(16)(t) \end{cases}


\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting \underline{d} in the 2nd equation}}{\boxed{(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)}=16t}\implies 12t+18=16t \\\\\\ 18=4t\implies \cfrac{18}{4}=t\implies \cfrac{9}{2}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{four and a half hours}}{4\frac{1}{2}=t}

alexdok [17]
So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19

red=19

I want the answer and way to do this problem.
user100 [1]

∠ABC = ∠CDA (given)

∠BCA = ∠DAC (given)

CA = AC (common side)

ASA congruence criterion = when two angles of two triangles are equal and their included side is also equal, we can consider those triangles to be congruent to each other.

Since two angles in triangle △ABC and△CDA are equal and since their included side is also equal we can conclude that they are congruent.

Therefore, △ABC ≅ △CDA under the ASA congruence criterion.

Your teacher recently found an old Nintendo in a thrift store. Use the formula to predict the value of the Nintendo in 2020. (Re
9966 [12]

The value of the Nintendo after 35 years is $2455

Since the formula f(x) = 3x² - 40x + 180 predicts the value of the Nintendo x years after 1986.

Since we require the value in 2021, x years after 1986 is 2021 - 1986 = 35 years.

Substituting x = 35 into the equation, we have

f(x) = 3x² - 40x + 180

f(x) = 3(35)² - 40(35) + 180

f(x) = 3(1225) - 40(35) + 180

f(x) = 3675 - 1400 + 180

f(x) = 2275 + 180

f(x) = 2455

So, the value of the Nintendo after 35 years is $2455

Do you think this is a realistic prediction of the value of that Nintendo?

This is not a realistic prediction for the value of the Nintendo, because, it is too high.
