Complete question is;

Roger and Rita each drive at a constant speed between Phoenix and San Diego. Each driver’s distance for the same section of the trip is displayed below. Who had a head start, and how many miles was the head start?

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

B) Roger had a 26-mile head start.

C) Roger had a 25-mile head start.

D) Rita had a 22-mile head start.

Answer:

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that Roger travelled a distance of 60 miles

And that;

Rita travelled a distance of 32 miles

We are told that they travelled between Phoenix and San Diego.

Thus, it means that if they have different distances but covered same section of the trip, it means the one with higher distance started before the section of the trip.

Thus, it means that Rita had a head start of Roger since she covered only 32 miles.

Thus;

Rita had a head start of; 60 - 32 = 28 miles

The perimeter of (the distance around) ABCD is 66, and DC is twice as long as CB. How long is AB?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

AB=22\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem ABCD is a rectangle

so

DC=AB

BC=AD

Let

BC ---> the length of rectangle

DC ---> the width of rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

P=2(BC+DC)

we have

P=66\ units

so

66=2(BC+DC)

simplify

33=BC+DC ----> equation A

DC=2BC ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

33=BC+2BC

Solve for BC

Combine like terms

33=3BC

Divide by 3 both sides

BC=11\ units

<em>Find the value of DC</em>

DC=2BC ----> DC=2(11)=22\ units

Remember that

DC=AB

therefore

AB=22\ units

The interior angles of a triangle have measures k°, 27°, and 10°.<br><br> What is the value of k?
NikAS [45]

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Assuming that the sum of all the angles must equal 180°

180 - (27+10) = k

180 - 37 = k

k = 143°

Please help Evaluate this equation!!
lozanna [386]

Answer:

1.)-8

2.)-5

3.)4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the function f(x)=3x-5

The questions say "If you were to substitute these numbers what answer would you get?"

Understanding this,

First question is with x=-1

f(-1)=3(-1)-5

f(-1)=-3-5=-8

_____________________________________

f(0)=3(0)-5

f(0)=0-5=-5

_____________________________________

f(3)=3(3)-5

f(3)=9-5=4
