He started with 16 because he sold half so add half and that would be 16 ;)

Answer:

16 I think

Step-by-step explanation:

If he now has 16 and he bought 8 you have to do 16-8 which is 8. He sold half and got to 8. Half of 16 is 8. (Sorry if that didn't make sense)

I hope this helped!

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?

First make a triangle by connecting the center point of the circle to one of the end points of the chord.

This will make a right triangle. The new formed line is the radius of the circle and will be the hypotenuse of the right triangle too.

Since one of the legs of the right triangle is half the chord, divide the chord in to two.

9.6 / 2 = 4.8

Now we can calculate for the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean theorem states that a²+b² = c²

√2.4² + 4.8² = c

√5.76 + 23.04 = c

√28.8 = c

5.4 = c

C is the hypotenuse and the hypotenuse is known as the radius of the circle.

So the radius is 5.4

Anyone willing to help? Question 2 only

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

(a) Peter cycle at an average speed of x km/h

it means that he is doing x km in 1 hour

so to do 40 km he needs 40/x hour

(b) it means that he was doing x-5 km/h

so it took 40/(x-5) hour

so we can write

40/(x-5)=40/x+4/3

$3*40x=3*40(x-5)+4x(x-5) \ \ \ \text{multiply by 3x(x-5) both sides}\\ 120x =120x-600+4x^2-20x\\4x^2-20x-600 = 0\ \ \ \text{divide by 4} \\ x^2-5x-150=0$

(d)

$x^2-5x-150=0\\ x^2+10x-15x-150=0\\ x(x+10)-15(x+10)=0\\ (x-15)(x+10)=0\\\\ x = 15 \ \ or \ \ x=-10$

the speed is positive so we take the positive solution which is 15

the speed is 15 km/h

hope this helps
