Two athletes practice for a marathon by running back and forth on a 11-mile course. They start running simultaneously, one at a

speed 2 miles faster than the other. How fast does each run if they meet 1 hr 6 minutes after starting? (The faster one is already returning at this point.) How far from the starting point do the runners meet?

Answer:

Faster runner speed: 11 mph

Slower runner speed: 9 mph

Distance from starting point: 9.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the slower runner speed be: x

Faster runner speed: x+2

1 hour 6 minutes = 1.1 hours

Slower: 1.1(x) = 1.1x miles

Faster: 1.1(x+2) = 1.1x+2.2 miles

This means that the faster runner had gone 2.2 miles more than the slower runner.

1.1x + 2.2 > 11 miles (This is true as we know the faster runner is coming back from the 11 mile run)

1.1x > 11 - 2.2 miles

1.1x > 8.8 miles

x > 8.8 / 2.2 miles

x > 8 mph

1.1x < 11 miles (we know this is true as the slower runner has to have gone less than 11 miles as the faster runner met him on his way back)

x < 11 / 1.1 miles

x < 10 miles

8 < x < 10

Although x could be any number including decimal between 8 and 10, the obvious first answer would be 9. However we need to check if this answer is correct.

Slower runner distance to the end:

1.1(9) = 9.9 miles

11 - 9.9 = 1.1 miles

Faster runners distance from the end (when coming back)

1.1(9+2) = 1.1(11) = 12.1 miles

12.1 - 11 = 1.1 miles

The speeds 9 mph and 11 mph are now proven to be the right speeds. Using our equation before, we can figure out the distance from the starting point that they meet at. This is just how far the slower runner has gotten. So, 1.1(9) = 9.9 miles from the starting point

The values of x and y vary directly
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

y = (1/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

"Direct variation" here signifies y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Then y = kx.  Here we are to find k using the info that x = 12 and y = 3:

3 = k(12), or

k = 3/12, or k = 1/4

Then y = (1/4)x

URGENT! WILL GIVE BRAINLY FOR CORRECT ANSWER
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

sorry if im wrong i think wrong numbers. plz check

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of dilation of the question is (-4,-3) .

let say that

x0=-4

y0=-3

Label the image A'B'C'

The new coordinate would be

A(-4,-1)

x=4

y=-1

x'=x0+ 2(x - x0)

x'= -4+ 2(-4 +4)

x'=-4

y'=y0+ 2(y - y0)

y'= -3+ 2(-1 +3)

y'=-3 +4= 1

______________________________

B(-4,-3)

x=-4

y=-3

x'=x0+ 2(x - x0)

x'= -4+ 2(-4 +4)

x'=-4

y'=y0+ 2(y - y0)

y'= -3+ 2(-3 +3)

y'=-3

______________________________

C(-1,-3)

x=-1

y=-3

x'=x0+ 2(x - x0)

x'= -4+ 2(-1 +4)

x'=-4 +6= 2

y'=y0+ 2(y - y0)

y'= -3+ 2(-3 +3)

y'=-3

A'(-4,1)

B'(-4,-3)

C'(2,-3)

Rearrange the formula to make x the subject:<br> A = 1/2xy
Maslowich

Answer:

x = \frac{2A}{y}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = \frac{1}{2} xy

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

2A = xy ( divide both sides by y )

\frac{2A}{y} = x
