X = 6 after distributing then adding 39 to both sides and then divide by 13
To find the rate, first you divide 180mi/3hr to get 60mph. On the first day they were traveling at a rate of 60mph. It says that on the second day, they drove at the same rate and drove 300 miles. This means you divide 300mi/60mph to get 5hr. They drove 5hr on the second day. And finally, the question asks how long they drove total, so you add 3hr+5hr to get 8hr total.
Answer is 8hr.
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the vertex to the base is a perpendicular bisector.
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle on the right.
(
x )² + 3² = (
)² , that is
x² + 9 = 45 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x² = 36 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = 
= 12
12/3=4
4*15=60
60*(9)=540
540+3=543
