Mathematics

Given:

A man walks for x hours at a speed of  (x + 1) km/h and cycles for (x - 1) hours at  a speed of (2x + 5) km/h.

Total distance  travelled is 90 km.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know that,

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Speed\times Time=Distance

A man walks for x hours at a speed of  (x + 1) km/h, so walking distance is

D_1=(x+1)(x) km

The man cycles for (x - 1) hours at  a speed of (2x + 5) km/h, so the cycling distance is

D_2=(2x+5)(x-1) km

Now,

Total distance = 90 km

D_1+D_2=90

(x+1)x+(2x+5)(x-1)=90

x^2+x+2x^2-2x+5x-5-90=0

3x^2+4x-95=0

3x^2+19x-15x-95=0

x(3x+19)-5(3x+19)=0

(3x+19)(x-5)=0

3x+19=0\text{ and }x-5=0

x=\dfrac{-19}{3}\text{ and }x=5

Time cannot be negative. So, the only possible value of x is 5.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

That is, the number of rows of stitches Buddy knitted is 42 rows.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the question, we note that the size of 3.5 rows of stitch = 0.5 inches

The size of Buddy = 6 inches

The number of rows of stitch required to make 6 inches is given by;

0.5 in = 3.5 rows

1 in = 3.5 ÷ 0.5 or 7 rows

Therefore, 6 inches is given by,

7 rows/inch ×6 inches = 42 rows

That is, the number of rows of stitches Buddy knitted = 42 rows.
