Answer:

x/y = 3/5

=> x = (3/5)y (1)

(x + 8)/(y + 8) = 2/3

=> 3*(x + 8) = 2*(y + 8)

=> 3x + 24 = 2y + 16

=> 3x - 2y = -8 (2)

From (1) and (2), we have:

=> 3*(3/5)y - 2y = -8

=> (-1/5)y = -8

=> y = 40

=> x = (3/5)*y = (3/5)*40 = 24

=> Solution: x = 24, y = 40

Hope this helps!

A road perpendicular to a highway leads to a farmhouse located d miles away. An automobile traveling on this highway passes thro

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+900}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A road is perpendicular to a highway leading to a farmhouse d miles away.

An automobile passes through the point of intersection with a constant speed $\frac{dx}{dt}$ = r mph

Let x be the distance of automobile from the point of intersection and distance between the automobile and farmhouse is 'h' miles.

Then by Pythagoras theorem,

h² = d² + x²

By taking derivative on both the sides of the equation,

$(2h)\frac{dh}{dt}=(2x)\frac{dx}{dt}$

$(h)\frac{dh}{dt}=(x)\frac{dx}{dt}$

$(h)\frac{dh}{dt}=rx$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{rx}{h}$

When automobile is 30 miles past the intersection,

For x = 30

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{h}$

Since $h=\sqrt{d^{2}+(30)^{2}}$

Therefore,

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+(30)^{2}}}$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{30r}{\sqrt{d^{2}+900}}$
