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

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-2) and has an undefined slope?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis, with equation

x = c ( c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through )

The line passes through (8, - 2) with x- coordinate 8 , thus

x = 8 ← equation of line

A train traveled 1/5 of the distance between two cities in 3/4 of an hour. At this rate, what fraction of the distance between t
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

1/5x=3/4 hour

so since 5 times 1/5=1 then

find x

multiply both sides by 5

x=15/4 hour=3 and 3/4 hour=3 hour and 45 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps :)

Hey can someone help?
Ronch [10]

The value of the given variable x in the missing angles is; x = 12°

<h3>How to find alternate Angles?</h3>

Alternate angles are defined as the angles that occur on opposite sides of the transversal line and as such have the same size. There are two different types of alternate angles namely alternate interior angles as well as alternate exterior angles.

Now, from the question, we can see that ∠4 and ∠6 suit the definition of alternate angles and as such we can say that they are both congruent.

Since ∠4 = (8x + 4)° and ∠6 = (6x + 28)°, then we can say that;

(8x + 4)° =  (6x + 28)°

Rearranging this gives us;

8x - 6x = 28 - 4

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12°
