5x+25 final answer is x=5
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
(21-15)/15=0.4
0.4×100=40
Answer:
52.12
Step-by-step explanation
PEMDAS
Adding comes before subtracting
10+51=61
10+51 41=51.51
61-51.51=-52.12
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
