12. A cyclist travels 40 km at a speed of x km/h. Find the time

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate times time, so

           

           distance

time = --------------

               rate

Here the distance is 40 km and the rate is x.  Then

              40 km

time = --------------  =  (40/x) hr

             x km/hr

If the speed is reduced by 2 km/hr, we get:

              40 km                                            40 km                  40

time = -------------------------------  or time = ----------------------- = --------- hr

             (x km/hr - 2 km/hr)                      (x - 2) (km/hr)       x - 2

The difference between the times is:

 40          40

-------- - --------- = 1 hr          Solve this for the original speed, x

x - 2         x

40x - 40x + 80                                80

-----------------------  =  1 hr     or     ------------ = 1     or 80 = x^2 - 2x

     x(x - 2)                                     x(x - 2)

Rewriting this in standard quadratic form:  x^2 - 2x - 80 = 0

Here a = 1, b = -2 and c = -80, and so the discriminant b^2 - 4ac is:

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-80) = 324

The solutions are:

   

      -(-2) ± √324       2 ± 18

x = -------------------- = ------------ = 1 ± 9, or 10 (discard the other root)

              2                      2

The original speed was 10 km/hr

Find the surface area of the rectangular prism.<br> 2 cm <br> 6 cm<br> 3 cm <br> 3 cm
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

72. If the second 3cm has some relevance, leave a note and I'll come back and modify my answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

L = 6 cm

W = 3 cm

H = 2 cm

I don't know what the extra 3 cm is for.

Formula

SA = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*H*W

SA = 2*6*3 + 2*6*2 + 2*2*3

SA = 36 + 24 + 12

SA = 72

According to the Substitution Property of Equality: If y = -5 and 7x + y = 11, then _______ . Question 9 options: 7(-5) + y = 11
ycow [4]

Answer:

7x - 5 = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, substitute y = -5 into the equation 7x + y = 11.

This becomes 7x + (-5) = 11 or 7x - 5 = 11.

A motorcycle zoomed along the freeway, traveling 10 meters in
Hoochie [10]

The speed of the motorcycle will be 30 meters per second.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

A motorcycle zoomed along the freeway, traveling 10 meters in 1/3 of a second.

Then the speed of the motorcycle will be

Speed = 10 / (1/3)

Speed = 10 x 3

Speed = 30 meters per second

The speed of the motorcycle will be 30 meters per second.

More about the speed link is given below.
