Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 5
Mom drove for 11 hours.
Dad drove for 3 hours.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- Total distance = 895 miles
- Mom drove a speed of 65 mph
- Dad drove a speed of 60 mph
Let 'x' be the number of hours drove by mom.
Let 'y' be the number of hours drove by dad.
x + y = 14 ---------------(1)
65x + 60y = 895 ---------(2)
Multiply eq(1) by 60 and subtract eq(2) from (1),
60x + 60y = 840
-(<u>65x + 60y = 895</u>)
<u> -5x = -55 </u>
x = 55/5
x = 11
∴ Mom drove for 11 hours.
Substitute x=11 in eq(1)
11+y = 14
y = 3
∴ Dad drove for 3 hours.
It wouldn't let me post, so I screenshotted:
Let's call the distance from the beach to the playground x.
Let's call the distance from the stand to the parking lot z.
Let's call the base of the biggest triangle in the picture (from the parking lot to the left) y.
Recall the pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
There are three right triangles we can work with.
Triangle with sides 48, x and z. Here z is the hypotenuse so we get the equation

Triangle with sides 27, x and y. Here y is the hypotenuse so we get

Triangle with sides z, y and (48+27). Here (48+27) is the hypotenuse so we get

. That is,

We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns (x, y and z). So let's take the last equation:

and replace

and

using expressions that contain an expression in terms of x from the first two equations we came up with.
That gives us:

which we solve for x as follows:

Now that we know x we can substitute 36 for x into the equation

and solve for z as follows:

This means that the distance from the beach to the parking lot is 36 m and the distance from the stand to the parking lot is 60 m.
We can easily get the quarts per hour rate by dividing the number of quarts by the number of hours:

Now that we have the quarts per hour rate, we can easily address the question: the factory could make

quarts in 48 hours, with a daily rate of

quarts per day
