Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

$12 = ($2 per mile) (2 people)

$12 = $2 + $2m (m = mile)

subtract 2 on both sides to eliminate

$12 - $2 = $2 - $2 + 2m

$10 = 2m

divide both sides by 2 to eleminate m

$10 / 2 = 2m / 2

m = 5

Calculate the value of 3x + 4y when x = -6 and y = 5.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

x = -6

-18+4y=0 => 4y=18 =>y=18/4=9/2

Y=5

3x+20=0 => x=3x= -20=> x= -20/3

The distance around a circle is 37.7 meters long. what is the diameter of the circle?

aksik [14]

Ok so we know that the distance around the circle (or circumference) is equal to the diameter times pi.
This means that
$37.7 = \pi \times d$
d being the diameter,

This means that:
$d = \frac{37.7}{\pi}$
= 12.00028271
= 12 m

So the diameter of the circle is 12 metres.

Hope this helped

To the nearest tenth, find the perimeter of ABC with vertices A(-1,4), B(-2,1) and C(2,1). show your work

liubo4ka [24]

we have to firstly apply the distance formula to find the length of sides of the triangle

distance formula = $\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 +(y_{2}- y_{1})^2}$
