kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

65 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two simultaneous equations . Remeber that v=d/t, 1hour = 60 minutes.

1. 40 = (d+15)/(t+0.5)

2. 50 = d/t

solving: d= 25 miles and t=0.5 hours.

The distance traveled is:

D=d+d+15

D=65 miles

Ann's first option is a plot of land adjacent to a current park.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Given:

The equation for the area of the first option is:

x^2+200x=166400

Where x is the side length of the current square park.

To find:

The side length of the current square park.

Solution:

We have,

x^2+200x=166400

It can be written as:

x^2+200x-166400=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2+520x-320x-166400=0

x(x+520)-320(x+520)=0

(x-320)(x+520)=0

x=320,-520

We know that the side length of a park cannot be negative. So, the only possible value of x is 320.

Therefore, the most direct method to solve the given equation is splitting the middle term and the side length of the current square park is 320 meters.
