\large\bf{\underline\red{Good \: Afternoon♡}}

Normal-travel DATA:

distance = 240 km

rate = x km/h

time = d/r

= 240/x hrs

_______________________

Bad weather DATA:

distance = 240 km

rate = (x-20) km/h

time = 240/(x-20) hrs

______________________

Bad time - normal time = 2 hrs

240/(x-20) - 240/x = 2

120/(x-20) - 120/x = 1

120x -120(x-20) = x(x-20)

20 = x^2 -20x

x^2 - 20x - 20 = 0

x = [20 +- sqrt(20^2 - 4*1*-20)]/2

x = [20 +- sqrt(480)]/2

x = [20 +- 4sqrt(30)]/2

x = 10 +- 2sqrt(30)

loris [4]

F(11) means to replace x in the equation with 11

12(11) + 5

12 x 11 = 132

Now you have 132 + 5 = 137

F(11) = 137

Shaka and ajani playa a game shaka scores 30%of maximum points and misses the record by 15 points ajani gets 40% of maximum pint
stellarik [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should focus on their records and percents.

Shaka: 30%, -15 points.

Ajani: 40% +35 points.

When we subtract 35 and -15, we get the difference of 50.

We know 10% is 50 point difference, 20% is 100 point difference, 30% is 150 point difference, etc.

But that's not correct.

  • It has to be in the Negatives.
  • It cannot be positive under 30%.

Since 30% is -15 points, we subtract 50 for 20%, then another 50 for 10%.

Our Correct work is:

0% = -0, 10% = -115, 20% = -65, (30% = -15, 40% = 35.)

- We are correct.

Then, since we are correct, we keep going.

30% = -15, 40% = 35, 50% = 85, 60% = 135, 70% = 185, 80% = 235, 90% = 285, 100% (Or Maximum Point): 335.

Therefore, the Maximum Point is 335 points.

Best of Luck to you!

Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
