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

Suppose the correlation coeffecient
Usimov [2.4K]

A relatively large correlation coefficient, such as the 0.87 given here, indicates a direct proportion relationship between two variables. Here, as baby gains weight, smart phone pricing increases. Note that this is NOT a causal relationship.

Which are steps that could be used to solve 0 = 9(x2 + 6x) – 18 by completing the square? Check all that apply.
jeyben [28]
18 + 81 = 9(x²<span> + 6x + 9)
</span><span>11 = (x + 3)</span>²

When we are completing the square, we are going to move the value of c across the equals.  We will do that by adding, and end up with

18=9(x²+6x)

We take the value of b (the coefficient of x), divide it by 2 and square it:
(6/2)²=3²=9

This is the value that completes the square.  However, since the entire square is multiplied by 9, this value must be multiplied by 9 before we can add it across the equals:
18+9(9) = 9(x²+6x+9)
18+81=9(x²+6x+9)
99=9(x²+6x+9)

Dividing both sides by 9, we have:
11=x²+6x+9

11=(x+3)²
