Distance = speed * time
d = st
The sports car travels d distance for t time at speed, s, 95 mph until it overtakes the family
car.
The equation for the sports car is
d = 95t
The family car travels the same distance, d, but since it left 4.5 hours earlier than the sports car, it travels for t + 4.5 time until it is overtaken. It travels at speed, 35 mph.
The equation for the family car is
d = 35(t + 4.5)
We solve the two equations as a system of equations.
d = 95t
d = 35(t + 4.5)
Since d = d, set the right sides of the equations above equal to each other.
95t = 35(t + 4.5)
95t = 35t + 157.5
60t = 157.5
t = 2.625
The answer is 2.625 hours, or 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds.
Check:
In 2.625 hours, the sports car travels: 95 mph * 2.625 h = 249.375 miles
The family car traveled 2.625 hours plus the extra 4.5 hours, or 7.125 hours.
In 7.125 hours, the family car travels 35 mph * 7.125 h = 249.375 miles.
The cars have traveled the same distance 2.625 hours after the sports car left, so our answer is correct.
Answer:
The total distance around the canvas painting is 60 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total distance around the canvas painting is 60 cm, we know this because, to find the perimeter of a square you add the length of all 4 sides together. To find the length of 1 side we take the square root of the area which is 196 cm², this equals 14 cm. To find the perimeter we add all 4 sides together, so 14+14+14+14=60 cm.

Answer:
Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 1 - 2x the slope is -2 the value of the x term.
So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2) is 1/2.
Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .
y = mx + b
-1 = 1/2(2) + b solve for "b", the y-intersect
-1 = 1 + b
-2 = b
The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x is y = 1/2x - 2
