2. WXZ=YXZ
3. Reflexive property of equality
(if they are angles)-
4. WXZ=YXZ ~~Reason- Congruent angles have equal number of degrees
(if they are triangles-more likely judging by the problem)-
4. Triangle WXZ=YXZ ~ Reason- SAS Congruence Postulate
You start with: (assuming x equals the cost to enter and y the cost of going on the rollercoasters.)
x+5y=35
x+11y=59. Multiply the top equation by -1, and subtract the equations, giving you -6y=-24, divide by -6 into both sides of the equation, to get y=4. Now replace y in one of the original equations (I recommend x+5y=35) and solve for x, giving you x=15
The cost for entering is 15 dollars, while each coaster is 4 dollars more. You could simplify this by changing y into x and making it slope-intercept form, to track your cost. y=4x+15, so it has a slope of 4, and a y-intercept of 15. This answer should give you a good grade on a test.
Answer:
61.2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first calculate the individual legs of Adara's trip in terms of both time and distance:
<u>Ashdown to Bridgeton</u>
3 hr at 60 mph = 180 miles in 3 hours
<u>Bridgeton to Carton</u>
30 miles at 70 mph: 30 miles/(70 miles/hour) = 0.429 hours
<u>Total Trip</u>
Miles = 180 + 30 = 210 miles
Time = 3 + 0.429 = 3.429 hours
Average speed is (210 miles)/(3.429 hours) = 61.25 or 61.2 miles/hour to 1 decimal point.
