To solve this problem, we must recall that the formula for velocity assuming linear motion:

v = d / t

Where,

v = velocity

d = distance

t = time

 

For condition 1: bus travelling on a level road

v1 = d1 / t1

<span>(v2 + 20) = (449 – d2) / 4                        --->1</span>

 

For condition 2: bus travelling on a winding road

v2 = d2 / t2

<span>v2 = d2 / 5                                            --->2</span>

 

Combining equations 1 and 2:

(d2 / 5) + 20 = (449 – d2) / 4

0.8 d2 + 80 = 449 – d2

1.8 d2 = 369

d2 = 205 miles

 

Using equation 2, find for v2:

v2 = 205 / 5

v2 = 41 mph

 

Since v1 = v2 + 20

v1 = 41 + 20

v1 = 61 mph

 

Therefore <span>the average speed on the level road is 61 mph.</span>

Ed plants trees in city parks. He used 1\10 of a bag of fertilizer around the base of a newly planted tree. How many trees can E
valina [46]
To determine this you could think of it in a couple ways.

1. If it takes 1/10 of a bag of fertilizer to put around 1 tree, he can fertilize 10 trees with 1 bag because there are 10 groups of 1/10 in a bag. Take 10 x 40 because there are 40 bags and get 400 trees to be fertilized.

2. You can divide 40 by 1/10 as the other strategy.
This is the same as 40 x 10/1.

Also equaling 400 trees that can be fertilized.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x²+3

y = 3x+1

x² + 3 = 3x +1

x² - 3x + 2 = 0

(x-2)(x-1) = 0

x = 2, 1

Two solutions

(2,7) and (1,4)
