Manuel traveled 31 hours nonstop to Mexico, a total of 2,300 miles. He took a train part of the way, which averaged 80 mph, and

then took a bus the remaining distance, which averaged 60 mph. How long was Manuel on the train?

Answer: he was on the train for 22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time that Manuel spent on the train to Mexico.

Manuel traveled 31 hours nonstop to Mexico. This means that the time he spent on the bus is (31 - t) hours

Distance = speed × time

He took a train part of the way, which averaged 80 mph. This means that the distance he traveled on the train is 80t

Then, he took a bus the remaining distance, which averaged 60 mph. This means that the distance he traveled on the train is 60(31 - t)

Since the total distance covered is 2300 miles, it means that

80t + 60(31 - t) = 2300

80t + 1860 - 60t = 2300

80t - 60t = 2300 - 1860

20t = 440

t = 440/20

t = 22

What is the radius of a circle with the equation x^2+y^2+6x-2y+3?
atroni [7]

Answer:

r = √13

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with x^2+y^2+6x-2y+3, group like terms, first x terms and then y terms:  x^2 + 6x            + y^2 -2y             = 3.  Please note that there has to be an " = " sign in this equation, and that I have taken the liberty of replacing " +3" with " = 3 ."  

We need to "complete the square" of x^2 + 6x.  I'll just jump in and do it:  Take half of the coefficient of the x term and square it; add, and then subtract, this square from x^2 + 6x:     x^2 + 6x  + 3^2 - 3^2.  Then do the same for y^2 - 2y:  y^2 - 2y + 1^2 - 1^2.

Now re-write the perfect square x^2 + 6x + 9 by (x + 3)^2.  Then we have x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9; also y^2 - 1y + 1 - 1.  Making these replacements:

(x + 3)^2 - 9 + (y - 1)^2 -1 = 3.  Move the constants -9 and -1 to the other side of the equation:  (x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 3 + 9 + 1 = 13

Then the original equation now looks like (x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 13, and this 13 is the square of the radius, r:  r^2 = 13, so that the radius is r = √13.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-16=-10x-11

+10x +10x

5x-16=-11

+16 +16

5x=5

5x/5 = 5/5

x=1

A cart is coasting past Gordon. As it passes, he exerts a force on it. Whether the cart speeds up, slows down, or changes direct
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Whether the car slows down or speeds up depends on the direction of the force applied, because if Gordon applied the force opposite the direction of the cart's movement, then the cart will slow down. If however, the force is applied in the direction of the carts movement, then the cart will speed up.

harina [27]

Answer:

Substitute the numbers below x by x in the equation given in the middle of the table and that will be the answer for y.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, x= -1

y= x + 6

y= -1 + 6

y= 5
