Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point where two line cut across, the vertically opposite angles formed are equal. This means that

2x degrees = 78 degrees

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2, it becomes

2x/2 = 78/2

x = 39

Checking,

The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

180 - 78 = 102 degrees

2x + 102 = 180

2x = 180 - 102 = 78

x = 78/2 = 39

Answer:

<em>10 miles</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance d = v t

v - speed/velocity

t - time

<em>d</em> = \frac{3}{4} (8) + \frac{1}{3} (12) = 6 + 4 = <em>10 miles</em>
