Hello! What type of work is that so I can specifically know! :)
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
(1/2)*25 = 25/2 = 12.5
So the 1/2 of 25 is 25/2 or 12.5
Answer:
29 Minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The original speed is given in miles per hour (like a car), but the answer is asking for miles per minute, so we must convert the speed into miles per minute first. To do this, we set up this equation:
which equals
. We can then divide the desired number of miles by the speed in miles per minute. Here is the eqaution for this
. The miles cancel and you are just left with 29.1 minutes after you divide 4.9 by 0.168333333. Hope this helps!
