combine like term:

4x+1-x2-5= -x2 +4x-4

x2 have no like term to combined with.

same with 4x.

but +1 and -5 could so it equal to -4

1-5=-4

out it together would equal to -x2+4x-4

a jogger runs 4 miles per hour faster downhill than uphill. if the jogger can run 5 miles downhill in the same time that it take

Serga [27]

Answer: the rate uphill is 6 mph.

The rate downhill is 10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate at which the jogger ran uphill.

The jogger runs 4 miles per hour faster downhill than uphill. This means that speed at which the jogger ran downhill is (x + 4) mph

Time = distance/speed

if the jogger can runs 5 miles downhill, then the time taken to run downhill is

5/(x + 4)

At the same time, the jogger runs 3 miles uphill. It means that the time taken to run uphill is

3/x

Since the time is the same, it means that

5/(x + 4) = 3/x

Cross multiplying, it becomes

5 × x = 3(x + 4)

5x = 3x + 12

5x - 3x = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

The rate downhill is 6 + 4 = 10 mph

frutty [35]

Answer:

$y = 0.00587x +1986.406$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span. The following ordered pairs show the population x and the year y over the ten-year span in the form (x, y) for specific recorded years.

x y

2500 2001

2650 2002

3000 2004

3500 2007

4200 2011

Slope 0.005865485

Intercept 1986.406413

So regression line is

$y = 0.00587x +1986.406$

When population = 15000

$0.00587(17000)+1986.406\\=2074.389$

Remi invests ?600 for 5 years in a saving account. By the end of the 5 years he has received a total of ?75 simple interest. Wor

Allushta [10]

Answer:

2.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is

I = Prt

Data:

I = $75

P = $600

t = 5 yr

Calculation:

75 = 600 × r × 5

75 = 3000 r

Divide each side by 3000

r = 75/3000 = 0.025 = 2.5 % APR

The annual percentage rate is 2.5 %.
