Answer:
D.) 12
Step-by-step explanation:
16x - 3(4x + 5) = 2x + 9
16x - 12x - 15 = 2x + 9
4x - 2x = 15 + 9
2x = 24
2x/2 = 24/2
x = 12
Check:
16x - 3(4x + 5) = 2x + 9
16(12) - 3(4(12) + 5) = 2(12) + 9
192 - 3(48 + 5) = 2(12) + 9
192 - 3(53) = 24 + 9
192 - 159 = 33
33 = 33
Considering there is a function (relationship) and that it is linear, the distance will change proportionally to time constantly. In other words, we are taking the speed to be constant throughout the journey.
If we let:
t = time (min's) driving
d = distance (miles) from destination
Then we can represent the above information as:
t = 40: d = 59
t = 52: d = 50
If we think of this as a graph, we can think of the x-axis representing time and the y-axis representing the distance to the destination. Being linear, the function will be a line, i.e. it will have a constant gradient. If you were plot the two points inferred from the information and connect the two dots, you will get a declining line (one with a negative gradient) representing the inversely proportional relationship or equally, the negative correlation between the time driving and the distance to the destination. The equation of this line will be the linear function that relates time and the distance to the destination. To find this linear function, we do as follows:
Find the gradient (m) of the line:
m = Δy/Δx
In this case, the x-values are t-values and our y-values are d-values, so:
Δy = Δd
= 50 - 59
= -9
Δx = Δt
= 52 - 40
= 12
m = -9/12 = -3/4
Note: m is equivalent to speed with units: d/t
Use formula to find function and rearrange to give it in the desired format:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
d - 50 = -3/4(t - 52)
4d - 200 = -3t + 156
4d + 3t - 356 = 0
Let t = 70 to find d at the time:
4d + 3(70) - 356 = 0
4d + 210 - 356 = 0
4d - 146 = 0
4d = 146
d = 73/2 = 36.5 miles
So after 70 min's of driving, Dale will be 36.5 miles from his destination.

Answer:
D) 20°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the triangle sum theorem, you know that every triangle's interior angles add up to 180°. Therefore the bottom triangle's missing angle can be found by giving it the variable x.
57° + 30° + x = 180°
Simplify: 87° + x =180°
x=93°
By the vertical angles theorem, the vertical angle directly across this angle is congruent to this one. Meaning that the top triangle's angle are 67°, 93°, and unknown, which we can assign y. We can use the same method from above here.
67° + 93° + y = 180°
Simplify: 160° + y = 180°
y=20°
Answer:
500 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pressure applied to the leverage bar be represented by p
Let the distance from the object be represented by d.
The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object.
Written mathematically, we have:
Introducing the constant of proportionality
If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object
Therefore, the relationship between p and d is:
When d=3 Inches
The pressure applied when the distance is 3 inches is 500 pounds.
