Answer:

12 mph and 16 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = speed * time

56 = s * 2 + (s - 4) * 2

56 = 2s + 2s - 8

56 = 4s - 8

64 = 4s

16 = s

s = 16

s - 4 = 12

Let the speed of the faster bike = X

The slower bike would be x - 4 ( 4 mph slower)

Multiply each speed by time and add to equal total distance:

2x + 2(x-4) = 56

Simplify:

2x + 2x -8 = 56

4x -8 = 56

Add 8 to each side:

4x = 64

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 64/4

x = 16

The faster bike rode at 16 miles per hour

The slower bike traveled at 16-4 = 12 miles per hour

A pair of shoes is on sale for 15% off. With this discount, customers will save
mezya [45]
$9 is the part, 15% is the percent, and $60 is the whole

$9 is %15 of the whole. This means $9 is the part, 15% is the percent, and the whole is the total cost of the shoes after the discount. The total cost of the shoes after the discount is 60.

Which situation is respresented by the inequality below
mihalych1998 [28]
X = greater than or equal to six

Because you divide the 6 from each side

6x > 36
-----------
6. 6

Which equals x = greater than or equal to six


It has to be greater than or equal to because it had the line under it which means equal to and has the open mouth of the comparison sign facing the left which is greater than. Combine them together

Question 2) 6y - 1 = 5
First we need to add 1 to each side.
6y - 1 + 1 = 5 + 1
6y = 6
Then we will divide each side into 6 groups.
6y/6 = 6/6
y = 1

Question 4) 3t - 1 = 8
First we need to add 1 to each side.
3t - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1
3t = 9
Then we will divide each side into 3 groups.
3t/3 = 9/3
t = 3

3 sides of the triangle are distinct perfect squares. What is the smallest possible perimeter of the triangle?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

77

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, you would probably think that the side lengths are 1², 2², 3² = 1, 4 and 9 but these side lengths don't form a triangle. The Triangle Inequality states that the sum of the two shortest side lengths must be greater than the largest side length, and since 1 + 4 > 9 is a false statement, it's not a triangle. Let's try 2², 3², 4² = 4, 9, 16. 4 + 9 > 16 is also false so that doesn't work. 3², 4², 5² = 9, 16, 25 but since 9 + 16 > 25 is false (25 isn't greater than 25), that doesn't work either. 4², 5², 6² = 16, 25, 36 and since 16 + 25 > 36 is true, this is our triangle which means that the perimeter is 16 + 25 + 36 = 77.
