Answer:

Gerry arrived at the bus station at 12:30 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

From noon and 5:00 P.M. there are 5 hours.

Gerry, Dale, and Pat arrived at the bus stop within that interval, which means the sum of the times elapsed between their arrival times must be 5.

4 out of the 5 hours elapsed since Gerry and Dale's arrivals. This means there is only one hour left for twice x.

If twice x is one hour, then x is half an hour. Thus, the complete sequence of arrivals is:

Gerry arrived at the bus station at 12:30 P.M.

Dale arrived at the bus station at 4:30 P.M.

Pat arrived at the bus station at 5:00 P.M.

Solve x2 − 10x = −13.

aev [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's rearrange the given equation into something more recognizable. If we add 13 to both sides, we now have the polynomial $x^{2}-10x+13$ . We can now use the quadratic formula to solve.

Remember that the quadratic formula is

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

Substitute the numbers from the equation into the formula.

$\frac{-(-10)+/-\sqrt{(-10)^{2}-4(1)(13) } }{2(1)}$

Simplify:

$\frac{10+/-\sqrt{100-52} }{2}$

$\frac{10+/-\sqrt{48} }{2}$

Here, I'm going to assume that there was a mistype in option B because if we divide out the 2 we end up with $5+/-\sqrt{48}$ .

Hope this helps!

Given a line with a slope of1/2 and a point(6,5) which lies on that find an equation to represent that line

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The equation of the line is given as 2 y - x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the slope of the given line = 1/2

The point on the line is (x0,y0) = (6,5)

Now, by POINT SLOPE FORMULA:

The equation of line with (x0,y0) and slope m is written as:

(y - y0) = m (x-x0)

So, here the equation of line is given as

$( y- 5) = \frac{1}{2} (x-6)\\\implies 2( y-5) = ( x-6)\\or, 2y - 10 = x - 6\\\implies 2y - x = 4$

Hence the equation of the line is 2 y - x = 4.
