Answer:
12t -3 = 18t
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
d = your friends distance in miles
t = time in hrs
Your equation:
d - 3 = 18t (1)
Because you are 3 miles behind your friend
Your Friend's equation:
d = 12t (2)
To find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up with your friend,
Substitute (2) into (1)
d - 3 = 18t
12t - 3 = 18t
Equation to find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up to your friend is 12t - 3 = 18t
Solving the equation
12t - 3 = 18t
Collect like terms
12t - 18t = 3
-6t = 3
t = 3/-6
= -0.5
t = 1/2 hour
Time can not be negative, therefore it will take 1/2 an hour to catch up with your friend
Step-by-step explanation:
28+29=57
57+42=99 so 99 should be your answer
Answer:
7.5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
As with many quadrilaterals, pairs of sides have the same length, so the perimeter is twice the sum of two of the sides.
In a kite, generally, opposite sides have different lengths, so the perimeter is twice the sum of the lengths of opposite sides. That is
51 m = 2(18m + side opposite)
15 m = 2 × (side opposite)
7.5 m = side opposite
_____
<em>Comment on side lengths</em>
In a rectangle or parallelogram, the perimeter is twice the sum of adjacent sides. A kite is different in that adjacent sides may be the same length. If the kite is not a rhombus, <em>opposite</em> sides are <em>always</em> different lengths.
