Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2

Suppose three riders rode a total of 182 miles. If they used a total of 13 horses, and rode each horse the same number of miles,
umka21 [38]

Answer:

They rode 14 miles before replacing each horse

Step-by-step explanation:

We will be working under the assumption that all three riders sat on one horse at a time and rode it while the other horses rested.

From the problem, we can understand that the horses were each ridden for the same distance. This means that to get the total distance a horse rode before it was changed, we can divide the total distance by the number of horses that were used for the journey.

Distance each horse rode = 182/ 13 = 14 miles.

Therefore, each horse was ridden for 14 miles before it was changed.
