Answer:

Courtney's walking speed = 3.33mph

Brandi's walking speed = 4.33 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Courtney's walking speed

then

(x + 1) = Brandi's walking speed

:

Time = Distance/speed

Brandi walks 6.5 mi time = Courtney walks 5 mi time

6.5/x + 1 = 5/x

Cross multiply

6.5x= 5(x+1)

6.5x= 5x + 5

6.5x - 5x = 5

1.5x = 5

x = 5/1.5

x = 3.33 mph is Courtney's walking speed

Note that:

(x + 1) = Brandi's walking speed

3.33mph + 1 = 4.33mph

Therefore,

Courtney's walking speed = 3.33mph

Brandi's walking speed = 4.33 mph

Answer:

2k + 4 > k + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Keywords:

more - addition

twice - multiplication

greater than - >

sum - addition

4 more than twice the number k

2k + 4

Greater than

>

Sum of k and 11

k + 11

2k + 4 > k + 11

Solve for k if needed.

2k + 4 > k + 11

2k > k + 7

k > 7

Best of Luck!

Anarel [89]
Hey there!

In order for you to solve for this equation, you need to multiply. That’s what the “•” is or means!

32 • 35 = ?

None of the above, because 32 times 35 equals 1,120

Answers 1,120 ✅

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

If w = 12 units, x = 7 units, and y = 8 units, what is the surface area of the figure? Figure is composed of a right square pyra
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

720 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and width of square prism, w = 12 units

Height of square prism, x = 7 units

Height of square pyramid, y = 8 units

Please have a look at the attached image.

Here 2 Surfaces will not be exposed which are base of the square pyramid and the top of the square prism i.e. 2 square surfaces will not be exposed.

Here, surface area of the composite figure will be:

<em>Surface Area of Composite Figure = Lateral surface area of Square Pyramid + Surface Area of 5 surfaces of the square prism</em>

For finding the lateral surface area of pyramid, we need to find the slant height of the pyramid.

Let slant height be l units.

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find out the value of l.

As per theorem:

Hypotenuse^{2} = Base^{2} + Height^{2}\\

\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{w}{2})^{2} + y^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{12}{2})^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = {6}^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = 36+64 =  100\\\Rightarrow l = 10\ units

Lateral surface area of square prism = 4 \times Area of triangular surface

\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2}\times Base \times Slant\ Height\\\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12\\\Rightarrow 240\ sq\ units

Surface Area of 5 surfaces of the square prism =

4 \times x \times w + w^2\\\Rightarrow 4 \times 12 \times 7 + 12^2\\\Rightarrow 336 +144\\\Rightarrow 480\ sq\ units

So, total surface area of composite figure:

240 + 480 = 720 sq units.

A cleaning company charged $125 to clean a 2500 square foot house. The same company charged $146 to clean a 3200 square foot hou
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The cost is y = $185

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us have points spelt out here

(2500,125) and (3200,146)

The general form of a straight line equation is;

y = mx + b

where m is slope

So to calculate the slope in this case, we have

m = (146-125)/(3200-2500)

m = 21/700 = 0.03

So we have the equation as

y = 0.03x + b

To get b, we use any of the two points

Let us use (2500,125)

So we have

125 = 0.03(2500) + b

125 = 75 + b

b = 125-75

b = 50

So the complete equation of the line is;

y = 0.03x + 50

So here, we want to find the cost of a house with 4500 square feet

simply substitute 4,500 for x

y = 0.03(4500) + 50

y = 135 + 50

y = $185

What is the intersection of x+2y=-4 and 4x=3x+12? And what do i do to find this out?
Andrews [41]
Clean up the equation with x first and x=12.
Substitute this value in to the other equation to solve for y.
You should get a solution of (12,-8)
