Answer:
ST = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
RT is the sum of RS and ST
Replacing with length you get:
17 + x + 6 = 3x - 56
17 + 6 + 5 = 3x - x
28 = 2x
14 = x
ST = x + 6 = 14 + 6 = 20
0.68 = 0.6 + .08 = 6 x 0.1 + 8 x .01
They should all equal 0.68 :)
I believe the answer is 0.5
So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19
red=19
blue=8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A road is perpendicular to a highway leading to a farmhouse d miles away.
An automobile passes through the point of intersection with a constant speed
= r mph
Let x be the distance of automobile from the point of intersection and distance between the automobile and farmhouse is 'h' miles.
Then by Pythagoras theorem,
h² = d² + x²
By taking derivative on both the sides of the equation,




When automobile is 30 miles past the intersection,
For x = 30

Since 
Therefore,
