The answer is 73.33333333 (repeated). You can also write it as 73 or 73.3 with a line over the 3 (after the decimal point) to indicate it being repeated.
Answer: y = 4
explanation:
y = 1/3(-3) + 5
y = (-3)/3 + 5
y = -1 + 5
y = 4
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time
one car is going at 55kph, at say hmmm "t" time
the second car zooms by at 75kph, an hour later, thus " t + 1 "
notice, overtaking the 1st car, simply means, the second car comes from behind approaches the first car from behind and "gets there", at that very second, both cars have travelled a distance, say "d"
if the first car travelled "d" kilometers
for the second car to "get there" has to had travelled "d" distance as well

solve for "t"
