n the motorway. His journey usually takes him 2.5 hours. One day when there is fog, he sets off 1 hour early and only manages to drive at an average speed of 28 km/h in the urban areas and 60 km/h on the motorway. He arrives 30 minutes late. What was the total distance that Tyler travelled?

Answer:

  168 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance Tyler drives at the slower speed, and let y represent the distance at the higher speed. Using time = distance/speed, we can write equations for the total travel time:

  x/42 +y/105 = 2.5

  x/28 +y/60 = 4.0 . . . . . 1.5 hours more than the usual 2.5 hours

Multiplying the first equation by 210, we have ...

  5x +2y = 525

Multiplying the second equation by 420, we get ...

  15x +7y = 1680

Subtracting 3 times the first of these equations from the second, we have ...

  (15x +7y) -3(5x +2y) = (1680) -3(525)

  y = 105

Putting this into the very first equation, we get ...

  x/42 + 105/105 = 2.5

  x/42 = 1.5 . . . . . . subtract 1

  x = 63 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 42.

The total distance to Tyler's parents' house is ...

  63 km + 105 km = 168 km

What is the first step when rewriting y=6x^2+18x+14 in the form y=a(x-h)^2+k?
Grace [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Factor 6 from the first two terms.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

By factoring out "a", you can better see what "h" needs to be.

  1. y = 6(x^2 +3x) +14 . . . . 6 factored from first 2 terms
  2. add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite outside: y = 6(x^2 +3x +2.25) +14 -6(2.25)
  3. rewrite as a square; combine the constants: y = 6(x+1.5)^2 +0.5

The weights of bags of grasecks chocolate candies are normally distributed with a mean of 4.3 ounces and a standard deviation of
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: 0.2743

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be a random variable that represents the weight of bags of grasecks chocolate candoes.

X that follows normal distribution with, Mean = 4.3 ounces, Standard devaition = 0.05 ounces

The probability that a bag of these chocolate candies weighs less than 4.27 ounces :P(X

=P(z

Hence, the required probability = 0.2743
