Answer:

The distance is  S_1 = 45 \  miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at which Gabby rode his bike is  v  =  18 \ miles / hour

   The average speed of the car is  u =  60 \  miles / hours

   The distance from Gabby's house to the parents house is  d =  435 \ miles

   The time taken for Gabby to get to his parents house is  t =  9 hours

Generally the distance from Gabby's house to his parent house is mathematically reparented as

        S_1 + S_2 =  d

Here S_1 is the distance from Gabby's house to his sisters house which is mathematically represented as

     S_1 = t_1 *  v

=> Here t_1 is the time taken to move from Gabby's house to his sisters house

while  S_2 is the distance from his sisters  house to his parents house which is mathematically represented as

      S_2 = t_2 *  u

So

      vt_1  + ut_2 =  d

=>  18t_1  + 60t_2 =  435 --- (1)

Generally the total time taken to arrive his parents house from his house is mathematically represented as

        t_1 + t_2 = t

=>    t_1 + t_2 = 9 --- (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2  simultaneously we have that

        18t_1  + 60t_2 =  435 --- (1)

         t_1 + t_2 = 9 --- (2)

multiply equation 2 by 18  and equation 1 by 1

          18t_1  + 60t_2 =  435 --- (3)

         18t_1 +18 t_2 = 162 --- (4)

Substracting equation 3 from 4

          0t_1 + 42t_2 =  273

=>     t_2 = \frac{273}{42}

=>     t_2 = 6.5 \  hours

substituting t_2 into equation 2

       t_1 + 6.5  = 9 --- (2)

=>     t_1 =  2.5 \  hours

So the distance  from Gabby's house to his sisters house is mathematically represented as

          S_1 =2.5  * 18

=>        S_1 = 45 \  miles

Can you guys please help me? I understand everything but the last step.​
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

It is because you have to get rid of the power of 2 from c. In order to get rid, you have to square root it on both sides :

c² = 74

√(c²) = √74

c^(1/2×2) = √74

c = √74

Using Indices formula, (a^m)^n = a^(mn)
