Let the distance to his office be x, then
On monday, speed = x/20 miles per minutes = 3x miles per hour
On tuesday, speed = (3x + 15) miles per hour
Time = distance / speed
(20 - 6)/60 hours = x/(3x + 15) hours
7/30 = x/(3x + 15)
7(3x + 15) = 30x
21x + 105 = 30x
30x - 21x = 105
9x = 105
x = 105/9 = 11.7 miles
Therfore he travels an average of 11.7 miles to work.
Answer:
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a number, x.
Now increase it by 5%.
1.05x
Now increase it by 20%.
1.2 * 1.05x = 1.26x
1.26x = 126% of x = 100% of x + 26% of x
100% of x is the same as x, so it is the same as the original x.
The increase is 26% of the original number.
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
Answer:
17+75=?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -62.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = kx
-4 = k(25)
k = -4/25
y = (-4/25)x
10 = (-4/25)x
x = 10 × 25/-4
x = -62.5
