Answer: 98
Step-by-step explanation:
98 / (-7) = -14
Answer: 7 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
The athlete planned to run 3 miles
1 lap = 3/7 miles
x laps = 3 miles
by proportion :
x × 3/7miles = 3 miles
x = 3 ÷ 3/7
x = 3 x 7/3
x = 7
Therefore: the athlete will run 7 laps
Answer:
17.83in
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Simplifying:
2x2 + -8x + -90 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0
Solving
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-45 + -4x + x2) = 0
Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(9 + -1x)) = 0
Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1:
Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0
Solving
-5 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms:
-5 + 5 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 5
-1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms:
0 + 5 = 5
-1x = 5
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5
Simplifying
x = -5
Subproblem 2:
Set the factor '(9 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
9 + -1x = 0
Solving
9 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms:
9 + -9 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -9
-1x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms:
0 + -9 = -9
-1x = -9
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 9
Simplifying
x = 9
Solution
x = {-5, 9}</span>
Using the given formula T = LS
And given the time is 3 minutes (3 x 60 = 180 seconds)and the speed is 4-1/2 inches per second:
180 = L x 4-1/2
Solve for L by dividing both sides by 4-1/2:
L = 180 / 4-1/2
L = 40
The length should be 40 inches.
