An economist studying fuel costs wants to estimate the mean price of gasoline in her state on a certain day. On that day, she ta

During the first part of a​ trip, a canoeist travels 18 miles at a certain speed. the canoeist travels 4 miles on the second par
storchak [24]
We can set it up like this, where <em>s </em>is the speed of the canoeist:

\frac{18}{s} + \frac{4}{s-5} = 3

To make a common denominator between the fractions, we can multiply the whole equation by s(s-5):

s(s-5)[\frac{18}{s} + \frac{4}{s-5} = 3] \\ 18(s-5)+4s=3s(s-5) \\ 18s - 90+4s=3 s^{2} -15s

If we rearrange this, we can turn it into a quadratic equation and factor:

18s - 90+4s=3 s^{2} -15s \\ 22s-90=3 s^{2} -15s \\ 3 s^{2} -37s+90=0 \\ (3s-10)(s-9)=0 \\ s= \frac{10}{3} ,9

Technically, either of these solutions would work when plugged into the original equation, but I would use the second solution because it's a little "neater."  We have the speed for the first part of the trip (9 mph); now we just need to subtract 5mph to get the speed for the second part of the trip.

9-5 = 4

The canoeist's speed on the first part of the trip was 9mph, and their speed on the second part was 4mph.

Simplify x²-49/3x+21
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
First, you factor and simplify (respectively) the numerator and denominator. Your equation becomes:

\frac{(x-7)(x+7)}{3(x + 7)}

Notice, there is a (x + 7) on both the top and the bottom. Because of this, they cancel each other out. What is left is your answer:

\frac{(x-7)}{3}
