Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write an equation for each of chauffeured car services.

The first one = 28 + 2x = ?

The second one = 13 + 5x = ?

Next, we need to figure out what x is. Usually I just plug in random numbers, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it.

I first plugged in 2 as x.

28 + 4 = 32

13 + 10 = 23

That didn't work, so I then plugged in 5.

28 + 10 = 38

13 + 25 = 38

So 5 would be the correct answer for what is the distance.

George plays basketball in a week long camp On day 2 he scored 8 points On day 4 he scored 12 points Explain how to measure his
Kay [80]
To measure George's rate of change, we first set out two pairs of independent and dependent data which in this case is the day number and the point

Independent Data: Day 2                          Independent Data: Day 4
Dependent Data: 8 points                         Dependant Data: 12 points

Then we find the difference between the two independent values and the two dependent values

4 - 2 = 2
12 - 8 =4

To find the rate we use the following formula 
the difference of dependent value ÷ the difference of independent value =
4 ÷ 2 = 2

Hence the average rate of change is an increase of 2 points a day

A sector with an area of 30(pi) cm^2 has a radius of 10 cm.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

  108°

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a sector is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)r²θ . . . . . where θ is in radians

Solving for θ, we find ...

  θ = 2A/r²

For your given sector, the central angle is ...

  θ = 2(30π cm²)/(10 cm)² = 0.6π . . . . radians

π radians is 180°, so the central angle in degrees is ...

  θ = (0.6)(180°) = 108°

The central angle measure of the sector is 108°.
