Joey and Armando live on the same st as the park. The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando'

s home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park. Write and solve an equation to find how far Joey walked to get to Armando's home.

Let's start by assuming Armando's house is between Joey's and the park. 

Let x be the distance Joey walked to Armando's house.

<span>The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando's home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park. 

</span>\dfrac{9}{10} = x + \dfrac{3}{5}

x = \dfrac{9}{10} - \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{9}{10} -\dfrac{6}{10} = \dfrac{3}{10}

That's probably the answer they're looking for.  But what if the park is between Joey and Armando's houses or Joey is between the park and Armando?  (The latter isn't really possible with the given distances.)

Let a, b, c be the distances between three collinear points like we have here.  Our equation is really a few equations in one, something like

\pm a \pm b = \pm c

Let's get rid of the plus/minuses. Squaring,

a^2 + b^2\pm 2ab = c^2

\pm 2ab = c^2-a^2-b^2

4a^2b^2 = (c^2-a^2-b^2)^2

For us, that's a quadratic equation for c^2

4(9/10)^2(3/5)^2= (c^2-(9/10)^2 - (3/5)^2)^2

I'll skip right to the solutions,

c^2=\dfrac{9}{100} \textrm{ or } c^2=\dfrac{9}{4}


c=\dfrac{3}{10} \textrm{ or } c=\dfrac{3}{2}

We could have gotten the 3/2 just by adding 9/10+3/5 but this was more fun.

Which of the following is a radical equation?<br> Ox√3=13<br> O x+√3=13<br> O√x+3=13<br> O x+3=√13
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The answer would be: √x+3=13

Step-by-step explanation:

A radical equation is an equation with at least one variable put on a radical form. In this question, there is only one kind of variable which is x. Then, you need to find the equation where x is in the radical form. The radical form can be expressed with square root symbol.

The option with √x would be only √x+3=13

FEDY is a parallelogram. What is the measure of angle F?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Break the parallelogram up into two triangles. Angle E is 70 degrees and 45 degrees because of the property of equal opposite angles. So E 45 degrees Y 70 degrees and if you add the two up you get 115 degrees. There are 180 degrees in a triangle, so 180-115=65.
