If he bikes for 10 miles per hour and 8 miles per hour for the same distance x miles, he went 10 miles per hour for x/10 hours, as Distance = Rate*Time and on the way back he would go for x/8 hours. So then he went 2x distance, in x/8 + x/10 hours. Since x/8 + x/10 = 10x/80 + 8x/80 = 18x/80 = 9x/40, he went 2x miles in 9x/40 hours. this can be converted into a rate with the above equation Distance = Rate*Time, so 2x=(9x/40) * Rate, thus we divide by 9x/40 on both sides to get 80x/9x = Rate, the x cancels out, and we get 80/9 Miles per hour.
Answer:
Please let me know if your quadratic is
.
And if so your vertex is (-2,2) and your y-intercept is (0,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
It says vertex so I'm thinking you meant
. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The vertex form of a quadratic is
. It is called that because it tells you the vertex (h,k).
So if you compare the two forms you should see -h=2 while k=2.
-h=2 implies h=-2.
So the vertex is (h,k)=(-2,2).
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and find y.





So the y-intercept is (0,-6).
3x + 14 = 20 - 2x
add 2x to each side
5x +14 = 20
subtract 14 from each side
5x = 6
x = 6/5 = 1 1/5
Answer: 1 1/5
