<h3>Answer:  6 mph</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

distance = rate*time

90 = r*t

where r is the slower speed and t is the time it takes when going that slower speed.

If r is bumped up 24 mph faster, to r+24, then Santos takes t-12 hours to get there. The second equation is

90 = (r+24)(t-12)

-------------------------------------

We can solve the first equation for r to get r = 90/t

Then plug this into the second equation and do a bit of algebra

90 = (r+24)(t-12)

90 = (90/t+24)*(t-12)

90 = 90 - 1080/t + 24t - 288

90t = 90t - 1080 + 24t^2 - 288t

0 = 90t - 1080 + 24t^2 - 288t-90t

0 = 24t^2 - 288t - 1080

24t^2 - 288t - 1080 = 0

If you apply the quadratic formula, then you should get the two solutions t = -3 and t = 15. Due to time constraints, I'll skip these steps.

We'll ignore the negative t value. It makes no sense to have a negative time.

So we focus on t = 15 as the only solution.

-------------------------------------

If t = 15, then,

r = 90/t

r = 90/15

r = 6

Santos rode his bike at <u>6 mph</u> at first. Going this speed means he takes 15 hours.

If he rode 24 mph faster, at 6+24 = 30 mph, then he would ride for 15-12 = 3 hours instead. Note that 90/30 = 3.

What is the GCF of the numerator &amp; denominator below?<br><br> (x-2)(x+3)/x^2+4x+3
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize the denominator

Sum = 4

Product = 3

Factors = 1 , 3    {1*3 = 3 and  1+3 = 4}

x² + 4x + 3 = <u>x² + x</u>    + <u>3x + 1*3</u>

                 = x(x + 1) + 3(x + 1)

                 = (x + 1)(x + 3)

GCF of the numerator and denominator = (x + 3)

One solution to a quadratic function, h, is given.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

B. The other solution to function h is -4-i\,7.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Algebra, we remember that quadratic functions of the form a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c has solutions of the form:

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}, where both are complex if and only if \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot c}< 0.

Hence, if one solution of the quadratic function is -4+i\,7, then the other solution is -4-i\,7. The correct answer is B.
