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.
Answer: the y-coordinate that completes the point is 5.
Explanation:
An ordered pair (x, y) indicates the x-and-y coordinates of a general point, where x is the input value of a function and y is the output value.
The output value is y = f(x) and must be found applying the rule (function) to the given input value.
In this case the rulte is f(x) = - 3x + 2, and the input value, x, is - 1 (the first value of the ordered pair).
This is the mathematical procedure:
- x = - 1
- f(x) = f (-1) = -3 (-1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5.
Answer:
The student is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 5x² = 20:
It is true that the value of x = 2 because 2² = 4, and when you multiply 4 with 5, you'll get a product of 20:
5x² = 20
5(2)² = 20
5(4) = 20
20 = 20
Therefore, the student is correct that x = 2.

Answer: 5</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0
x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0
x^2 + 1 = 5x
(x^2 + 1)/x = 5 .... where x is nonzero
(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5
x + (1/x) = 5
---------------
An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.
In this case,
p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2
q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2
