Ben participated in a race. During the first half of the race, he walked 3 miles and ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour for x hou

rs. During the second half of the race, he walked for 2 miles and ran at a rate of 5.5 miles per hour for x hours. What equation could you write to solve for the number of hours Ben ran during each half of the race? Let y represent the number of miles in half the race. Write two equations, one for the first half of the race and one for the second half. How could you transform these two equations to be the same as the original equation you wrote to solve for x? What do you think this means about solving for the variables in a situation represented by two equations?

Answer:

The answer is y = 13

y = 5.5x + 2

x = 2

(5.5 * 2) + 2

(11) + 2 = Y or 13

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 3

y = 5.5x + 2

0.5x = 1

x = 2

y = 13

What is the equation of a line, in Slope Intercept Form, with a slope of 4 and passes through the point (1, 6)?
Butoxors [25]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope m = 4 → y=4x+b

and point (1, 6). Substitute:

6=4(1)+b

6=4+b     <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>

2=b\to b=2

<h3>Answer: y = 4x + 2</h3>

Find the value of cos x if the value of sin x=3/5 and x is acute angle
just olya [345]
Sin = opposite / hypotenuse
cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

using pythagoras theorem =

adjacent = 5^2-3^2
= 16
= square root 16
=4

cos x = 4/5

Solve the following quadratic equations using completing the square x2 – 8x – 34 = 0
sveta [45]

Answer:

x=4± 5sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 – 8x – 34 = 0

To complete the square Add 34 to each side

x^2 -8x -34+34=0+ 34

Take the coefficient of x, and divide by 2

-8/2 =-4

Then square it and add it to each side

(-4)^2 =16

x^2 – 8x +16 = 34+16

x^2 – 8x +16 = 50

We replace the left side with (x + the coefficient of x/2)^2

(x -4)^2=50

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x -4)^2)=±sqrt(50)

x-4 = ±sqrt(25*2)

x-4 = ±sqrt(25)*sqrt(2)

x-4 = ±5sqrt(2)

Add 4 to each side

x=4± 5sqrt(2)

Check that 2b + b and 3b have the same value when b is 1,2, and 3
Misha Larkins [42]

For this case we have the following expressions:

2b + b\\3b

For b = 1:

2 (1) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3\\3 (1) = 3

For b = 2:

2 (2) + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6\\3 (2) = 6

Forb = 3:

2 (3) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9\\3 (3) = 9

For any number, the expressions will be equivalent because 2b + b = 3b

ANswer:

(2b + b)and 3b have the same value for b = 1,2,3

Prove that the medians to the legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent.
Vilka [71]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with sides AC and BC of equal length.                

We need to prove that the medians AD and BE are of equal length.

Consider the triangles ADC and BEC.

They have two congruent sides that include congruent angles.

Indeed, AC = BC by the condition, because the triangle ABC is isosceles.

Since the lateral sides AC and BC are of equal length, their halves EC

and DC are of equal length too: EC = DC.

Finally, the angle ECD is the common angle.

Thus, the triangles ADC and BEC are congruent, in accordance to the

postulate P1 (SAS) (see the lesson Congruence tests for triangles of the

topic Triangles in the section Geometry in this site).

Hence, the medians AD and BE are of equal length as the corresponding sides

of these triangles.

The proof is completed.
