Let:
Philadelphia be point a
Pittsburgh be point b
Distance traveled by Michelle be x
Distance traveled by Rich be 305 x
The general formula is:
distance = velocity (time)
substituting the values:
michelle: X = 65(t)
rich: 305 - X = 70 t
substituting both equations gives:
X = 146.562 miles
t = 2.26 hours or 2 hours and 15 mins
Answer: 135 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the amount of time it takes her to arrive is normally distributed, then according to the central limit theorem,
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = sample mean
µ = population mean
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 21 minutes
σ = 3.5 minutes
the probability that her commute would be between 19 and 26 minutes is expressed as
P(19 ≤ x ≤ 26)
For (19 ≤ x),
z = (19 - 21)/3.5 = - 0.57
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.28
For (x ≤ 26),
z = (26 - 21)/3.5 = 1.43
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.92
Therefore,
P(19 ≤ x ≤ 26) = 0.92 - 28 = 0.64
The number of times that her commute would be between 19 and 26 minutes is
0.64 × 211 = 135 days
Answer:the number of gallons of water left in the tub after it has drained for x minutes is 300 - 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
A hot tub that holds 300 gallons of water drains at a rate of 8 gallons.
Let x represent the number of minutes for which the hot tub has drained water.
If the hot tub drains 8 gallons of water per minute, it means that in x minutes, the number of gallons of water that the hot tub would have drained is 8x
Therefore, the number of gallons of water left in the tub after it has drained for x minutes would be
300 - 8x
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the easiest way to go about this is to choose on of the answers and fill it in to see if it's correct. Since you only have 4 possible answers, there's no need to actually solve this.
In the question it already tells us that x does not equal 0, so that answer is automatically not correct. Now your down to three possible answers.
Start with -3. First, fill in the x with -3 for what the equation is supposed to equal. That gives you 3/-3. Simplified, that is -1. Now put -3 in for the x in the equation. That gives you 3/2(-3) + 1/2. After running that through your calculator or solving it, you end up with 0. So -3 is not your answer.
Next we'll try the 2. Do as we did last time, and fill in the x on the answer part of the equation. You now have 3/2. That doesn't simplify so it stays as is. Now for the equation. That makes it 3/2(2) +1/2. Put that in your calculator or solve, and you get 5/4. 5/4 does not equal 3/2 so 2 is not your answer.
That leaves 3. You can go ahead and run through the steps above using 3 if you want to double check, but since it's the only answer left, there isn't really a need to.
Hope this helps :)
