Answer:

Time of driving of Maria = 1.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be time drove by Carlos and b be the time drove by Maria.

Carlos and Maria drove a total of 233 miles in 4.4 hours.

Total time = 4.4 hours

           a + b = 4.4 ------------------eqn 1

Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 55 miles per hour. Maria drove the remainder of the trip and averaged 50 miles per hour.    

    Speed of Carlos =   55 miles per hour

    Speed of Maria =   50 miles per hour      

Total distance = 233 miles

That is

              55 a + 50 b = 233----------------------eqn 2

eqn 1 x 50

              50 a + 50 b = 220---------------------------eqn 3

eqn 3 - eqn 2

             55 a + 50 b -    50 a - 50 b   = 233 - 220

                  5a = 13

                   a = 2.6

Substituting in eqn 1

                2.6 + b = 4.4

                          b = 1.8

Time of driving of Maria = 1.8 hours

Let x - hours Carlos drove ; Let y - hours Maria drove

Equation 1: x + y = 4.4
x = 4.4 - y

Equation 2: 55x + 50y = 233
55(4.4 - y) + 50y = 233
242 - 55y + 50y = 233
-5y = 233-242
-5y = -9
y=9/5 or 1.8 hours Maria drove

To find time Carlos drove:
x=4.4 - 1.8
x = 2.6 hours

Root 8-3 root 32 + 4 root 50 ​
Bess [88]

Answer:

10\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{8} -3\sqrt{32} +4\sqrt{50}

We can try to simplify first.

2\sqrt{2}-12\sqrt{2} +20\sqrt{2}

Now we can combine the like terms:

= 10\sqrt{2}

hope this helped! :)

The Thrill amusement park charges an entry fee of $40 and an additional $5 per ride, x. The Splash water park charges an entry f
seropon [69]
Answer: The two equations are:
y = 5x + 40
y = 3x + 60

In each problem, you are given the cost per ride. That is the slope, it goes in front of the x. 

Then, you are also given the entry fee. That is the y-intercept, it goes at the end of the equation.

Now, the equations are in slope intercept form. Y = MX + B

Graphing the equations will give an answer of (10, 90)
This means for both plans 10 rides will cost $90.

Kateri draws a square. She wants to draw one line to draw one line to divide the square into 2 triangles. Is it possible for her
Vika [28.1K]
No. Since you can only draw from the corners to get triangles, you will end up with two right triangles because of the corners. If it is a right triangle, it can obviously not be obtuse.

A swimming pool at a park measures 9.75 meters by 7.2 meters.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Part a) The area of the swimming pool is 70.2\ m^2

Part b) The total area of the swimming pool and the playground is 105.3\ m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Find the area of the swimming pool

we know that

The area of the swimming pool is

A=LW

where

L is the length side

W is the width side

we have

L=9.75\ m\\W=7.2\ m

substitute the values

A=(9.75)(7.2)

A=70.2\ m^2

therefore

The area of the swimming pool is 70.2\ m^2

Part b) The area of the playground is one and a half times that of the swimming pool. Find the total area of the swimming pool and the playground

we know that

To obtain the area of the playground multiply the area of the swimming pool by one and a half

\frac{1}{2}(70.2)=35.1\ m^2

To obtain the total area of the swimming pool and the playground, adds the area of the swimming pool and the area of the playground

so

70.2\ m^2+35.1\ m^2=105.3\ m^2

therefore

The total area of the swimming pool and the playground is 105.3\ m^2
