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.

Suppose Quadrilaterals A and B are both squares. Are A and B necessarily scaled
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle can be scaled into a square + rhombus. The difficult part is a trapezoid. If you can scale the sides, then the answer will remain yes because you would just make the top side longer both ways to straighten it and shorten the side lines.

Voting An appropriations bill passes the U.S. House of Representatives with 49 more members voting in favor than against. If all
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

242 members voted in favor while 193 members voted against

Step-by-step explanation:

Let those that voted against be x will those in favor will be (x+49)

Since today number of voters is 435

To find x

X + (x+49) = 435

2x + 49 = 435

2x = 435 - 49

2x = 386

X = 386/2

X = 193

Therefore, those against is 193 while this in favor is 193+49 = 242
