The round trip was 8 miles ( 4 + 4 = 8)

The total time for the trip is 3/10 + 1/2

Rewrite 1/2 as 5/10

Now add 3/10 + 5/10 = 8/10 = 4/5 hour for the 8 mile trip.

Now to find miles per hour, divide total miles by total time:

8 miles / 4/5 hour

When you divide by a fraction flip the fraction over and multiply:

8 x 5/4 = 40/4 = 10

The average rate was 10 miles per hour.

Is this 2x to the power of 2?
if it is then this is easy
list it out (just to show you how its solved)
2x^2*4x^2
2x^2*(-12x)
2x^2*10
then list the other one
-5x*<span>4x2
</span>-5x*(-12x)
-5x*10
so the whole answer is
8x^4+(-24x^3)+(-20x^3)+20x^2+60x^2+(-50x)

All about simulitious equations​
Korolek [52]

Answer:

On occasions you will come across two or more unknown quantities, and two or more equations

relating them. These are called simultaneous equations and when asked to solve them you

must find values of the unknowns which satisfy all the given equations at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The solution of a pair of simultaneous equations

The solution of the pair of simultaneous equations

3x + 2y = 36, and 5x + 4y = 64

is x = 8 and y = 6. This is easily verified by substituting these values into the left-hand sides

to obtain the values on the right. So x = 8, y = 6 satisfy the simultaneous equations.

2. Solving a pair of simultaneous equations

There are many ways of solving simultaneous equations. Perhaps the simplest way is elimination. This is a process which involves removing or eliminating one of the unknowns to leave a

single equation which involves the other unknown. The method is best illustrated by example.

Example

Solve the simultaneous equations 3x + 2y = 36 (1)

5x + 4y = 64 (2) .

Solution

Notice that if we multiply both sides of the first equation by 2 we obtain an equivalent equation

6x + 4y = 72 (3)

Now, if equation (2) is subtracted from equation (3) the terms involving y will be eliminated:

6x + 4y = 72 − (3)

5x + 4y = 64 (2)

x + 0y = 8
