Answer:

44 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Before lunch :

Time taken = 2hrs ; at speed = x mph

After lunch :

Time taken = 3hrs ; at speed = x + 10 mph

Total distance covered = 250 miles :

Distance = speed * time

(2 * x) + (3 * (x + 10)) = 250

2x + 3x + 30 = 250

5x + 30 = 250

5x = 250 - 30

5x = 220

x = 220/ 5

x = 44 mph

Rate before lunch is 44mph

Someone please help :(
OleMash [197]
The answer would be answer choice a.

Because 5/4 = 1.25
tan (51) = 1.235
tan (45) = 1
tan (60) = 1.732
tan (57) = 1.5399

The closest to 1.25 is tan (51)

Hope this helps :)

the two shorter sides of a triangle are the same length. the length of the longer side is 5 m longer than each of the shorter si
STatiana [176]
Let the length of the shorter sides be x, then
Perimeter = x + x + x + 5
29 = 3x + 5
3x = 29 - 5 = 24
x = 24/3 = 8

Therefore, the length of longest side is 8 + 5 = 13 m.
