Answer:

because a positive is over zero and a negative is below zero so from that you can tell that the opposite of any positive will be a negative.

The opposite of positive numbers are negative. There are numbers on the right and left side on the number line of zero.

I typed in a detailed "essay" of this but it didn't save. I even put in an example...

Dwayne drove 18 miles to the airport to pick up his father and then returned home. On the return trip he was able to drive an av

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = distance (in miles)

Let t = time (in hours)

Let v = average speed driving <u>to</u> the airport (in mph)

⇒ v + 15 = average speed driving <u>from</u> the airport (in mph)

Using: distance = speed x time

$\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Create two equations for the journey to and from the airport, given that the distance one way is 18 miles:

$\implies t=\dfrac{18}{v} \ \ \textsf{and} \ \ t=\dfrac{18}{v+15}$

We are told that the total driving time is 1 hour, so the sum of these expressions equals 1 hour:

$\implies \dfrac{18}{v} +\dfrac{18}{v+15}=1$

Now all we have to do is solve the equation for v:

$\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)}{v(v+15)} +\dfrac{18v}{v(v+15)}=1$

$\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)+18v}{v(v+15)}=1$

$\implies 18(v+15)+18v=v(v+15)$

$\implies 18v+270+18v=v^2+15v$

$\implies v^2-21v-270=0$

$\implies (v-30)(v+9)=0$

$\implies v=30, v=-9$

As v is positive, v = 30 only

So the average speed driving to the airport was 30 mph

(and the average speed driving from the airport was 45 mph)
