Alfonso runs 10 km at an average speed of x km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that t = d/r where t is time, d is distance, and r is rate/speed.

We can come up with two equations with the information given and the equation:

t_1 hr = (10 km)/(x km/hr)

t_2 hr = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr)

<em>where t_1 is the time taken to run the 10km the first day and t_2 is the time taken to run the 12km the second day.</em>

We know that 30 minutes is 1/2 of an hour and that t_1 is 30 minutes less than t_2 (as stated in the question). Therefore, we can write:

t_1 = t_2 - 1/2

Substituting the values we derived:

(10 km)/(x km/hr) = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr) -1/2

Then we can evaluate by multiplying by 2x(x-1) on both sides:

20(x-1) = 24x - (x)(x-1)

20x - 20 = 24x - x^2 + x

x^2 -5x -20 = 0

And we are done.

I hope this helps! :)

What is the distance between (6, 1) and (1, -9)?​
AVprozaik [17]

<u>A</u><u>n</u><u>s</u><u>w</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>:</u><u> </u>√15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (6,1) be (x^1,y^1) and (1,-9) be (x^2,y^2) .

As we know ,

Distance(D) = √(x^1-x^2) +(y^1-y^2)

Now,

D= √(x^1-x^2) +(y^1-y^2)

= √(6-1) +(1+9)

= √5+10

= √15 units

: Therefore the distance between (6,1) and (1,-9) is √15 units.

Is negative three a perfect cube?
erik [133]

No, it is not a perfect cube. A perfect cube is a number that is obtained when you cube an integer. For example, 8 (cube of 2), 27 (cube of 3) and 64 (cube of 4). Since -3 cannot be obtained by cubing an integer, it is not a perfect cube.

Use the distributive property to rewrite each algebraic expression: Do not solve, just rewrite.
cestrela7 [59]
I am not positive for the factoring of each expression but for the distributive property you do 8 TIMES x then 8 times 7 so you would get blank plus blank and so on for the next ones.
