Answer:

Chantal and Trisha will have both traveled 105 miles in 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

y is distance in miles, x is time in hours.

The two equations are:

y = \frac{20}{x} + 45

y = \frac{35}{x}

Set them equal to each other and solve for x:

\frac{35}{x} = \frac{20}{x} + 45

\frac{35}{x} - \frac{20}{x} = 45

\frac{35-20}{x} = 45

\frac{15}{x} = 45

x = \frac{15}{45} = \frac{1}{3} hours = 20 minutes

Plug that back into the equations to confirm this x gives the same y:

y = \frac{20}{1/3} + 45 = 105 miles

y = \frac{35}{1/3} = 105 miles

Find the value of x ?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

add all terms and set sum equal to 360

the 'hint' of (n-2)180 determines how many degrees there are inside the polygon; if 'n' equals the number of sides and the polygon has 4 sides then sum of interior angles is (4-2)180 or 2x180 which is 360

x + 10 + 3x + x + 2x = 360

combine like terms to get:  7x + 10 = 360

                                             7x = 350

                                              x = 50

Pam typed 2.5 pages in 15 minutes. At that rate, how many minutes will it take her to type 23 pages?
NeX [460]
In the given question, it is already mentioned that Pam takes 15 minutes to type 2.5 pages. this information should be used as the main information for reaching the desired answer.
Pam typed 2.5 pages in = 15 minutes
Then time taken by Pam to type 23 pages = (15/2.5) * 23
                                                                     = 345/2.5
                                                                     = 3450/25
                                                                    = 138
So Pam will take 138 minutes to type 23 pages
