Answer:

The correct answer is Adam rowed faster in the men's 500-meter kayak race.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the speed he rowed in both races, you need to divide the distance of the race by the time it took him to finish. In the first race, he rowed 500 meters and did it in a time of 1 minute 37.9 seconds, so the speed in that race would be \frac{500}{97.9} or approximately 5.10725 meters per second. In the second race, Adam rowed a distance of 1000 meters and did it in a time of 3 minutes 28.2 seconds, which means his speed in that race would be \frac{1000}{208.2} or approximately 4.80307 meters per second. Since his speed in the first race was faster than his speed in the second race, Adam rowed faster in the first race would be the correct answer.

4(9-x)6-6(4-7x)>5(1-2x)-8x+9(6-x)
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

x > 133/45

WORKING :

Multiply the number : 4 . 6 = 24

24(9-x) - 6 (4 - 7x) > 5 (1 - 2x) - 8x + 9 (6-x)

expand 24(9 - x) - 6(4 -7x) : 18x + 192

expand 5(1-2x) - 8x + 9(6-x) : - 27x + 59

18x + 192 > -27x + 59

subtract 192 from both sides

18x + 192 - 192 > -27x + 59 - 192

simplify

18x > -27x - 133

add 27x to both sides

18x + 27x > - 27x - 133 + 27x

simplify

45x > - 133

Divide both sides by 45

45x/45 > 133/45

Simplify

x > 133/45

FINALLY ANSWER :

X > 133/45

a) On Wednesday, Harry sold 3 times as many candy bars as on Tuesday. On Thursday, he sold 5 times as many bars as on Wednesday.
Alborosie

Answer:

Tues=8 Weds=24 Thurs=120

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be modeled by the equation x+3x+15x=152

x is the amount sold on tuesday, 3x is 3 times the amount sold on tuesday so it represents wednesday and 15x represents thursday as it is 5 times the amount sold on wednesday.

Now we just need to solve for x to figure out how many he sold each day.

x+3x+15x=19x

19x=152

x=152/19

x=8

To find the amount sold on each day just mulitiply x by the coefficient

Tuesday = x = 8

Wednesday = 3x = 3*8 = 24

Thursday = 15x = 15*8 = 120

The given question is a quadratic equation and we can use several methods to get the solutions to this question. The solution to the equation are 3/4 and -5/6 and the greater of the two solutions is 3/4

<h3>Quadratic Equation</h3>

Quadratic equation are polynomials with a second degree as it's highest power.

An example of a quadratic equation is

y = ax^2 + bx + c

The given quadratic equation is 24x^2 + 2x = 15

Let's rearrange the equation

24x^2 + 2x = 15\\24x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0

This implies that

  • a = 24
  • b = 2
  • c = -15

The equation or formula of quadratic formula is given as

y = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

We can substitute the values into the equation and solve

y = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}\\y = \frac{-2 +- \sqrt{2^2 -4 * 24 * (-15)} }{2*24} \\y = \frac{-2+-\sqrt{4+1440} }{48} \\y = \frac{-2+-\sqrt{1444} }{48} \\y = \frac{-2+- 38}{48} \\y = \frac{-2+38}{48} \\y = \frac{3}{4}\\ \\or\\y = \frac{-2-38}{48} \\y = \frac{-40}{48} \\y = -\frac{5}{6}

From the calculations above, the solution to the equation are 3/4 and -5/6 and the greater of the two solutions is 3/4
