Answer:

15hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by expressing the speed of the second trip as x. This means that the first trip must be x-1, and second (x-1)-1=x-2. Next we can form an equation with the information that the third day hike takes 30 min longer than second day hike. Since we now the distance of both days, we can express them in time. So... \frac{18}{x}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{14}{x-2} ... We can solve by finding a LCM of all three expressions. Doing so we get 2x(x-2). Now multiplying out with the new denominators, we get 36(x-2)+x(x-2)=28x. Solving as a quadratic equation, the solution comes out to be x=6, x=-12. But as speed can't be negative, only solution is x=6. Now we get the speed of each day's hike. First day=x-1=5, second day=6, third day =x-2=4. Finding the time is simple, just do distance/speed. First day=12.5/5=2.5hrs. Second day=18/6=3hrs. Third day=14/4=3.5hrs. Adding total hrs up... 2.5+3+3.5=9. Finally step is accounting for the 2hr digging time per day. 2hrs*3= 6hrs. 6hrs+9hrs=15hrs. Hope this helps!

Answer:

c = 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs of the triangle are a and b and the hypotenuse is c

Let a be the shorter leg

The hypotenuse is 5 more than the longest leg

c = b+5

The shortest leg is 20

a = 20

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

Substituting in what we know from above

20 ^2 + b^2 = (b+5)^2

FOIL  (b+5)^2 = b^2 +5b+5b +25 = b^2+10b+25

400 + b^2 = b^2+10b+25

Subtract b^2 from both sides

400+b&2-b^2 = b^2 -b^2 +10b+25

400 = 10b+25

Subtract 25 from both sides

400-25 = 10b+25-25

375 = 10b

Divide by 10

375/10 = 10b/10

37.5 = b

But we want to find c

c=b+5

c = 37.5+5

c = 42.5
