They meet (or pass) each other two hours after B leaves.

When B starts trip A has already gone 23 miles (46 x 0.5)
This means they are still 220 miles apart.
Their closing speed is 46 + 64 = 110 mph.
They will meet 2 hours after B leaves home. (220 / 110)

A will have travelled 46 x 2.5 = 115 miles and B will have travelled 2 x 64 = 128 miles

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350
kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by.  When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378

4x+1 ,3x find the value of x
In-s [12.5K]
I'm assuming that you meant 4x+1=3x?

Subtracting 4x, we get 1=-x.  Multiplying by -1, we get x=-1 as the solution.

What is cos P?  Right triangle PQR with a short leg measuring 5, a long leg measuring 12, and the hypotenuse as 13
OLga [1]
It depends how you name the sides of triangle.
Look at picture at the result.

cos\alpha=\frac{12}{13}\\
cos\beta=\frac{5}{13}

PS. Sorry for my terrible drawing but I did it as fast as possible :)

Sasha is cutting a cake into 42 equal-sized pieces. If 14 people want cake, then they can each have 3 slices. And if 21 people w
kupik [55]

Answer:

k = 42

the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of people that want cake

And y the number of slices each can have;

Since x is inversely proportional to y;

x = k/y .....1

Where k is the proportionality constant;

To solve for k, we will substitute any of the case scenario given into equation 1.

If 14 people want cake, then they can each have 3 slices;

x = 14 , y = 3

substituting;

14 = k/3

k = 14 × 3 = 42

k = 42

the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation is 42.

Therefore,

x = 42/y

What is 1/3 + 5/6 Help
gulaghasi [49]

<em><u>7/6 is the right answer.</u></em> First you had to add by the fractions. And it gave us, \frac{2}{6}+ \frac{5}{6}. Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions. And it gave us, \frac{2+5}{6}. Finally, you had to add by the numbers, and it gave us the answer is 2+5=7, or 7/6 is the right answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
