Answer:
word
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at an example.
We'll add the fractions 1/6 and 1/8
Before we can add, the denominators must be the same.
To get the denominators to be the same, we can...
- multiply top and bottom of 1/6 by 8 to get 8/48
- multiply top and bottom of 1/8 by 6 to get 6/48
At this point, both fractions involve the denominator 48. We can add the fractions like so
8/48 + 6/48 = (8+6)/48 = 14/48
Add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same the entire time.
The last step is to reduce if possible. In this case, we can reduce. This is because 14 and 48 have the factor 2 in common. Divide each part by 2.
The fraction 14/48 reduces to 7/24
Overall, 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24
The slope of first line is m 1= ( 1 - 0 ) / ( - 2 - ( - 6 ) );
m = 1 / 4 ;
Because the second line is perpendicular to the first line, m2 * m1 = - 1 ;
m2 * ( 1 / 4 ) = -1;
m2 = - 4 ;
The equation of the second line is : y - 3 = ( - 4 )( x - 2 );
y - 3 = -4x + 8 ;
y = -4x + 11.
The dependent variable is 5 and the independent is 15
Answer:
speed of motorcycle = 40 mph
speed of car = 50 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question
A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.
Speed = distance / time
This question would be solved using simultaneous equation
let m = average speed of the motorcycle
c = average speed of the car
c = 2m - 30 equation 1
20 =(c - m) x 2 equation 2
insert equation 1 into equation 2 and divide through by 2
10 = (2m - 30) - m
solve for m
m = 40 mph
substitute for m in equation 1
2(40) - 20 = 50 mph
