Step-by-step explanation:

let X = speed of slow bicycle rider

2x=speed of fast bicycle rider

3(x+2x)=72

X=8mph(slowest bicycle rider)

2x=16mph(fastest bicycle rider)

It is 17 miles to the mall how many inches is that on a map

Alona [7]

In order to answer that question, we need to know the scale of the map.
Without that information, no answer is possible.

I think you have it in the first part of the question ... the part you decided
not to post.
_________________________

OK. Now that you've provided the scale of the map,
answering the question is a piece-o-cake.
Use a proportion:

(1 inch on the map) / (4 miles on the ground) = ('x' on the map) / (17 miles on the ground)

The circle given by : x^2 + y^2 - 6y - 12 = 0 can be written as:

deff fn [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of circle is,

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 6y - 12 = 0 \\ by \: compairing \: it \: with \: \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2gx + 2fy = 0 \: we \: get \\2 g = 0 \: or \: g = 0 \\ 2f= - 6 \\ or \: f= - 3 \\ c = - 12$

again the another form of circle is,

${x}^{2} + {(y - k)}^{2} = 21 \\ or \: {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 2ky + {k}^{2} - 21 = 0 \\ by \: compairing \:it \: with \: \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2gx + 2fy = 0 \: we \: get \\ g = 0 \\f = - k \\ c = {k}^{2} - 21$

now equating the values of f in both equations,

-k=-3

i.e. k=3

therefore k=3

6j-k=23<br>3k+6j=11<br>Solve j and k using the elimination method on the simultaneous equations

frez [133]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6j - k = 23

6j + 3k = 11.....multiply by -1

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

6j - k = 23

-6j - 3k = -11 (result of multiplying by -1)

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

-4k = 12

k = -12/4

k = - 3 <=====

6j - k = 23

6j - (-3) = 23

6j + 3 = 23

6j = 23 - 3

6j = 20

j = 20/6

j = 10/3 <===

solution is : j = 10/3 and k = -3
