Answer:

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance between 2 cities = 145 miles

Time taken by truck = 2. 5 hours

Speed of car = 5 times the speed of truck

Speed of truck = distance / time

Speed of truck = 145 / 2.5

Speed of truck = 58 mph

Speed of car = 5 * 58 = 290 miles per hour

Time it takes to meet :

Time taken = distance / combined speed

Time taken = 145 / (290 + 58)

Time taken = 145 / 348

Time taken = 0.4166666 hours

Time taken = 0.4166666 * 60 = 25 minutes

Fantom [35]

Answer:

(B)\sqrt{21}\\(C)\sqrt{13+8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (13 + 8) ^{1/2}

Using law of indices: a^{1/2}=\sqrt{a}

(13 + 8) ^{1/2}=\sqrt{13+8}

Also:13+8=21

Therefore:

(13 + 8) ^{1/2}=21^{1/2}\\=\sqrt{21}

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

x=2(twice)

y=0(twice)

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using substitution method

So let's solve

y=x+2....(1)

y=x2+5x+6....(2)

Substitute (1) into(2)

X+2=x2+5x+6

Collect like terms

X2+5x-x+6-2=0

X2+4x+4=0

X2+2x+2x+4=0

X(x+2)+2(x+2)=0

(X+2)(x+2)=0

X+2=0

Substrate 2 from both sides

X=-2

X+2=0

X=-2

Let's substitute the value of x into (1)

y=x+2

y=-2+2

Y=0(twice)
