Answer: the scale factor is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation: hope it helps :)
She must have multiplied it by 5.
That would've given her:
x - y = 15
2.5x + y = 25
Now we can add them and the y-terms will eliminate each other. Because one is -y, and the other is positive y. -y + y = 0.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What you are trying to do is a nice way to solve this problem. Without knowing any physics, you are using what math you know to get the answer. You are actually very close to being correct, and you are right. You do have to divide by 60.
Here's why and it is the one bit of physics you have to know.
The speed is km/hour. That word hour is the culprit. Your time is in minutes and you have to get it into hours. In physics, the units have to be consistent.
So ...
b1 = 19 minutes which is 19 min [1 hour / 60 minutes] = 19/60 = 0.31667 hour
b2 = 26 minutes which is 26 min [ 1 hour/60 minutes] = 26/60 = 0.4333 hour
h = 40 km/hour
Area = (0.31667 hour + 0.4333 hour)*40 km/hour /2
Area = 0.75 hour * 40 km/hr //2
Area = 15 km

Step-by-step explanation:
-3b - 2b + 7 = -15
-5b = -22
b = 22/5
