John left the museum and drove south at a rate of 55 mph. Sally left four hours later driving 10 mph faster than John in an effo rt to catch up to him. How long did Sally have to drive to catch up with John?
28 hours
22 hours
20 hours
18 hours
1 answer:
Answer:
22 hours (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
John's velocity = 55mph
Sally's velocity = 65mph
John's time taken = x
Sally's time taken = x - 4
since they must cover the same distance.
and, distance = vel × time
Sally's vel × time = John's vel × time
55x = 65(x-4)
55x = 65x - 220
-10x = -220
x = 22 hours.
Therefore, Sally catches up after 22 hours

No because to get a proportional relationship you have to add the same number to all x to get y
Answer:
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
12y + 4 = 8y-12
Subtract 8y from each side
12y - 8y +4 = -12
4y +4 = -12
Subtract 4 from each side
4y +4-4 = -12 -4
4y = -16
Divide by 4
4y/4 = -16/4
y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:
158 / 60 = 2.63
which is about a 3 hour long movie.
Answer:
38.7°.
Step-by-step explanation:
from trigonometrical ratios
SO TO CA
H A H.
Tan°=opposite/adjacent.
Tan°=48/60
Tan°=0.8000
°= Tan-1(0.8000)
°=38.65°≈38.7°
Subtract 36 from both sides making it: -4c-3c=-14 Now subtract -4c and 3c making it: -7c=-14 Now divide by -7 on both sides making it: c=2 There you go
