Two cars started moving from San Jose to San Diego. The speed of the faster car was 12 mph less than twice the speed of the othe

r one. In 6 hours the faster car got to San Diego, and by that time the slower one still was 168 miles away from the destination. Find their speeds. Please help, all the other answers were incorrect.

Answer:

40 mph and 68 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of the slower car, then 2x-12 mph is the speed of the faster car.

In 6 hours the faster car got to San Diego, so it travels the distance

6\cdot (2x-12)=12x-72\ miles.

By that time the slower car was 168 miles away from the destination, so the slower car travels the distance

12x-72-168=2x-240\ miles

It takes the slower car 6 hours to travel 12x-240 miles, so

6x=12x-240\\ \\6x-12x=-240\\ \\-6x=-240\\ \\6x=240\\ \\x=40\ mph.

Now,

2x-12=2\cdot 40-12=80-12=68\ mph

Find x inscribed angles
mina [271]
The easiest variable you can solve for first is "z". Knowing that opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are supplementary, subtract 93 from 180 to get z.
Z should equal 87.
The next variable we can solve for is "x". We know that inscribed angles are half the measure of their intercepting arc, so we know 93 is half of (112 + x). The equation would look like this:

93= (112 + x)/2
Multiply both sides by 2
186 = 112 + x
Subtract 112 from both sides
74 = x

Now we can apply the same method we used to find "x" to find y. Set up an equation like this:
80 = (y + x)/2
Substitute the value of x in
80 = (y + 74)/2
Multiply both sides by 2
160 = y + 74
Subtract 74 from both sides
86 = y

Hope this helps!

Can someone please help?
Margarita [4]
The first thing you should do is write each speed in vector form.
 v1: vector water velocity
 v2: vector boat speed with respect to water
 writing the vectors we have
 v1 = (5 * COS (20 * (PI () / 180)) i) + (5 * SENO (20 * (PI () / 180)) j)
 v2 = (30 * COS (30 * (PI () / 180)) i) - (30 * SENO (30 * (PI () / 180)) j)
 The vector representing the ship's current motion will be given by the sum of vectors v1 and v2
 v1 + v2 = (30.67922522 i) + (15.67922522 j)
