Given that the ship was traveling for 4 mph faster heading west than south then let the speed of the ship heading south be x mph, the speed of the ship heading west will be (x+4) mph
the distance is given by:
distance=speed*time
distance heading south was:
x*4=4x miles
distance heading west was:
5(x+4)=5x+20
thus the total distance will be given by:
4x+(5x+20)=191
9x+20=191
9x=191-20
9x=171
x=171/9
x=19 mph
the speed the ship used to travel west was:
x+4
=19+4
=21 mph

The officers of a high school senior class are planning to rent buses and vans for a class trip. Each bus can transport 6363 ​st
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Rent 8 vans, total cost 640 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a van can accomodate 77 students and 1 chaperone.

To accomodate 567 students vans needed are

567/77 = 7.3

Rounding it off to 8 vans

If the officer places 71 student and 8 chaperones in a van. He can accomodate 65 chaperones and 567 students.

71x8 = 568

But we have only 567 students so in 1 van there will be 70 students and 9 chaperons.

For chaperons

(7x8) + (1x9) = 65

Total cost for transportation will be

8 x 80 = 640 dollars

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!


Answer:

3 1/2   (i.e 3.5)


Discussion:

From the attached file, the area of the shaded triangle =

Area  =   <u>square</u> surrounding triangle -

               area triangle 1 - area triangle  2 -  area triangle 3


         = 4 * 4  -

             (1/2) (1 * 1)     -  (1/2) (3 * 4)  -   (1/2) (3 * 4)

         = 16  - 1/2 - 1/2 (12) - 1/2(12) =

         = 16 - 1/2 - 12 =

         = 4 - 1/2

         = 3 1/2


Where we have used that the area of a triangle =

(1/2) base * height.


Thank you,

MrB

X^2+14x-15=0 solve by completing square<br>​
Softa [21]

Answer:

{x}^{2}  + 14x - 15 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - x + 15x -15 = 0 \\ x(x - 1) + 15(x - 1) = 0 \\ (x - 1)(x + 15) = 0 \\  \boxed{x = 1} \\  \boxed{x =  - 15}

<h3><u>x=1 and x=</u><u>-</u><u>15</u> is the right answer.</h3>
