<span>The average length of a bike (including the length of both wheels) is about 68 inches.For finding the true answer we must follow the following convertion rule: 1 inch is equivalent to 0.02 yard, so 68 inches equal to 1.88 yards. Consequently, the value nearest 1.88 yards is 1.5 yards, so the answer is the choice A: 1.5 yards. </span>
So we are simply adding them
we will set the denominator equal by multiplying both the numerator and denominator
then just adding the numerator while keeping the denominator. look at my work. so your answer is 5/8
To calculate slope; rise/run
Triangle ABC: run-1 rise-5 slope-5
5 rise/ 1 run (5/1)=5
Triangle DEF: run-2 rise 10 slope-5
10 rise/ 2 run (10/2)=5
B. They are equal because the two triangles are similar
Given the equation:

We will use the following rule to find the solution to the equation:
![x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
From the given equation: a = 6, b = 7, c = 2
So,
![\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt[]{7^2-4\cdot6\cdot2}}{2\cdot6}=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt[]{1}}{12}=\frac{-7\pm1}{12} \\ x=\frac{-7-1}{12}=-\frac{8}{12}=-\frac{2}{3} \\ or,x=\frac{-7+1}{12}=-\frac{6}{12}=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-7%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B7%5E2-4%5Ccdot6%5Ccdot2%7D%7D%7B2%5Ccdot6%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-7%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B1%7D%7D%7B12%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-7%5Cpm1%7D%7B12%7D%20%5C%5C%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-7-1%7D%7B12%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B12%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%20%5C%5C%20or%2Cx%3D%5Cfrac%7B-7%2B1%7D%7B12%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B12%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
So, the answer will be option B) x = -1/2, -2/3
