Ray is 12 miles from home.
Let x be Ray's distance from home. His distance is one leg of a right triangle; 5, Rosa's distance from home, is the other. The hypotenuse, the distance between them, is 1 more than Ray's distance from home, or x+1. Using the Pythagorean theorem,
5²+x²=(x+1)²
25+x²=(x+1)(x+1)
Multiplying the binomials, we have
25+x²=x*x+1*x+1*x+1*1
25+x²=x²+1x+1x+1
25+x²=x²+2x+1
Subtracting x² from both sides,
25 = 2x+1
Subtracting 1 from both sides,
24 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2, and we have
12 = x
Ray is 12 miles from home.
Negative 4 is less than negative 1
Answer:
100 and 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = be the first angle
x-20 is the second angle
They are supplementary so they add to 180
x+x-20 = 180
Combine like terms
2x-20 =180
2x-20+20 =180+20
2x= 200
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 200/2
x= 100
The first angle is 100 and the second is x-20
x-20 = 100-20=80
The two angles are 100 and 80

Answer: UF = 11</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
In EFU, we see that EU are the first and last letters. In VWU, we see that VU are the first and last letters. This order is important to be able to pair EU with VU
So EU/VU is one ratio
The other ratio is UF and UW, which are the last two letters of EFU and VWU respectively. So the other ratio is UF/UW
Set the ratios equal to each other and solve for x
EU/VU = UF/UW
7/35 = x/55
7*55 = 35*x ... cross multiply
385 = 35x
35x = 385
x = 385/35 .... divide both sides by 35
x = 11
UF = 11
------------
Or you could note how UV = 35 is exactly 5 times larger compared to EU = 7
That must mean WU = 55 must also be 5 times larger compared to UF = x
So,
WU = 5*UF
55 = 5x
5x = 55
x = 55/5
x = 11
UF = 11
This is similar to the previous section because UV/EU = 35/7 = 5 is the scale factor.
Yes because 4x3^x =12^x since the coefficient is added to the answer because it is in the 3.
