Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=14

x-1/3y=1/10

-y=14-x

y=-14+x

take out the factors

x-10/30y=3/30

30x-10y=3

substitute

30x-10(-14+x)=3

30x+140-10x=3-140

20x/20=-137/20

x=-6.85

y=-14+(-6.85)

y=-20.85

John drove from house to work at an average speed of 30 mph, trip took 40 minutes. How far in meters is his house to work?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we need to know that distance = speed * time

In this particular question, we have the time and the speed, we are only told to find the distance.

Now as we can see, the units are not consistent. While the average speed is 30mph, the time is not in hours but minutes. So practically, we have to convert the time to hours.

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the number of hours in 40 minutes would be 40/60 = 2/3 hours.

Now we can proceed to find the distance. We simply multiply the average speed with the time.

Hence, that is 30 * 2/3 = 20 meters

Solve by factoring.<br><br> m^2+6m+5=0
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

<u>-1 and -5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

m^2 + 6m + 5 = 0 is factored to: (m + 1)(m + 5) = 0.

The zero product property states that one of the represented parenthesis must equal zero to satisfy the right side of the equation.

(m + 1) = 0

(-1 + 1) = 0

This means that one of the values for m is -1.

(m + 5) = 0

(-5 + 5) = 0

This means that one of the values for m is -5.

<u>Moreover, the value of m by factoring is -1 and -5</u>

Indicate the general rule for the arithmetic sequence with a3 = -12 and a8 = -37
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The general rule is a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d

In which a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

We can also find the nth term as a function of a term m, using:

a_n = a_m + (n-m)d

a3 = -12 and a8 = -37

First we find the common difference. So

a_n = a_m + (n-m)d

a_8 = a_3 + (8-3)d

-37 = -12 + 5d

5d = -25

d = -\frac{25}{5}

d = -5

So

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

Finding the first term:

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

Since a_3 = -12

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

a_3 = a_1 - 5(3-1)

a_1 = a_3 + 10 = -12 + 10 = -2

So the general rule is:

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)
