Answer:

25.92 foot strides

Step-by-step explanation:

The man will take 120/5 = 24 five foot stride to cover the initial 120 foot advantage of the child.

Within this time, the child would have covered an additional 24/5 x 2 = 9.6 extra foot stride.

Within this 9.6 food stride of the child, the man will have to take an additional 9.6/5= 1.96 strides.

Total foot stride by the man will be 24 + 1.96 = 25.92 foot strides.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Answer:

4.8 gigabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of gigabytes of data = x

Xavier pays a flat cost of $44 per month and $3 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $58.40 per month.

The above expression above is represented by the equation:

$44 + $3 × x = $58.40

44 + 3x = 58.40

Solving for x

Subtract 44 from both sides

44 - 44 + 3x = 58.40 - 44

3x = 14.4

x = 14.4/3

x = 4.8 gigabytes

If f(x) = 3x^2 - 4 and g(x) = x+2, find (f - g)(x).
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

3x^2-x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 4

g(x) = x+2

(f - g)(x)= 3x^2 - 4-( x+2)

Distribute the minus sign

(f - g)(x)= 3x^2 - 4- x-2

Combine like terms

            = 3x^2-x-6
