Let Jean's speed while running = x mph
Then Jean's speed while riding will be = x+9 mph
Distance covered by running = 8 miles
Distance covered by riding = 11 miles
Total time taken to complete the race = 1.5 hours
As,
So, time for running=
And time for riding=
Equation becomes:
Now, multiply every term by 2x(x+9) to clear denominators:
Simplifying it we get
Solve the quadratic equation using formula
putting a=3 , b= -11, c= -144
we get (x - 9)(3x + 16) = 0
where x=9 and x=
Neglect the negative answer as speed cannot be negative, so x = 9 mph
Hence, Jean's running speed is 9 mph and riding speed is x+9 = 9+9 = 18 mph
Answer:
the answer is C... 100 m2
Step-by-step explanatii just took the test and it was right. the base would be 20 and the height would be 10. from there you just you the formula for area of a right triangle.
Idk. "squirtle, use chortled attack!!!"
