Answer: she would catch up with Tom in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time it will take for Mary to catch up with Tom.
Tom leaves his boat from a dock and travels at a rate of 25 miles per hour.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled by Tom in t hours is
25 × t = 25t
Ten minutes later, Mary leaves the same dock in her speedboat and heads after Tom. Converting 10 minutes to hours, it becomes 10/60 hour
Time spent by Mary is (t - 10/60) hours. If she travels at a rate of 30 miles per hour, it means that the distance that she would travel in
(t - 10/60) hours is
30(t - 10/60)
= 30t - 5
By the time she catches up with Tom, they would have covered the same distance. It means that
25t = 30t - 5
30t - 25t = 5
5t = 5
t = 5/5 = 1 hour
The area of this square is said to be 576 square inches.
The formula for the area of a square is the length of one side squared.
Let's use l to represent the side length.
This means l^2 = 576.
To find l, find the square root of both sides.
<span>√576 = 24

The length of each side of the square is 24 inches.
But the question is asking for it in feet.
12 inches = 1 foot so 24 inches = 2 feet
This means each side of the square is 2 feet long.
Answer:
2 feet
Answer:
x=0
y=-21/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two unknown be x and y
x+y=-7...(1)
x-y=14...(2)
From (1) make x the subject of formula
x=-7-y...(3)
Substitute (3) into (2)
-7-y-y=14
-7-2y=14
Add 7 to both sides
-2y=21
Add both sides by-2
y=-21/2
Substitute the value of y into (3)
x=-7-(-21/2)
x=-7+21/3
Lcm
x=-21+21/3
x=0/3
x=0
