Answer: Tim's average speed is greater

====================================================

Explanation:

Lara traveled a total distance of

AB+BC = (6 miles)+(2 miles) = 8 miles

and did so in

(1.5 hours)+(1 hour) = 2.5 hours

Plug those values into the formula

r = d/t

and we get

r = (8 miles)/(2.5 hours)

r = (8/2.5) mph

r = 3.2 mph

Lara's average speed is 3.2 mph

---------------------------------------

We'll follow the same steps for Tim as well

total distance = AE+ED+DC

total distance = (2 mi)+(4 mi)+(6 mi)

total distance = 12 miles

total time = (0.5 hr)+(1.5 hr)+(1.5 hr)

total time = 3.5 hours

rate = distance/time

r = d/t

r = (12 miles)/(3.5 hours)

r = (12/3.5) mph

r = 3.42857 mph approximately

Tim's average speed is roughly 3.42857 mph. We see that he has the greater average speed.

Answer:

I found two different solutions. Hope one of them help!

1. x = -1/3 = -0.333

2. x = 5/2 = 2.500

Step-by-step explanation:

13 ± √ 289

  x  =    ——————

                     12

Can  √ 289 be simplified ?

Yes!   The prime factorization of  289   is

  17•17

To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be  2  instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).

√ 289   =  √ 17•17   =

               ±  17 • √ 1   =

               ±  17

So now we are looking at:

          x  =  ( 13 ± 17) / 12

Two real solutions:

x =(13+√289)/12=(13+17)/12= 2.500

or

x =(13-√289)/12=(13-17)/12= -0.333

Two solutions were found :

x = -1/3 = -0.333

x = 5/2 = 2.500

The measure of the supplement angle is fourteen times greater than its supplement
disa [49]
Let's assume you have supplement angle
x
Now when you talk about multiplication you can simply say...
14x = y
And that will give you the answer.

When writing twenty-one-and-a-half-trillion in scientific notation, what is the exponent needed on the base ten?
Nat2105 [25]
1 trillion is 10^9.

Thus, 21 1/2 trillion is    21 1/2 times 10^9, or 2.15 times 10^10

Hope this helps.  If not, ask for clarification.

Solve by substitution. Show each step of your work.<br><br> 2x + y = 7<br><br> 3x + 5y = 14
Monica [59]
Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)

You have the equations...

2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14

To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...

2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28

Thus,

6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28

=========

-7y=-7

y=1

Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....

2x+(1)=7

2x+1=7
      -1  -1

2x=6

x=3

Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)

Y=12x-4<br><br>steps and answers:<br>​
nexus9112 [7]
Add 4 to both sides. Y+4=12x divide both sides by 12 y+4 over 12 which = x switch sides x= y+4 over 12 that’s the answer and I’m 100% sure
