A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of 53 miles, and the crew is adding 3 miles to the roa

d each day. Let L represent the total length of the road (in miles), and let D represent the number of days the crew has worked. Write an equation relating L to D. Then use this equation to find the total length of the road after the crew has worked 31 days.

Answer:

a). L=53+3 D.... equation

b). Total length of the road after the crew has worked 31 days=146 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find an expression for calculating the total length of a the road as follows;

L=F+(M×D)

where;

L=total length of the road in miles

F=starting length of the road in miles

M=number of miles per day added

D=number of days the crew has worked

In our case;

L=unknown

F=53 miles

M=3 miles per day

D=unknown

L=53+(3×D)

L=53+3 D.... equation

Solve for L when D=31 days

L=53+(3×31)

L=53+93=146

Total length of the road after the crew has worked 31 days=146 miles

Answer:

L = 53 + 3D
146 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) At 3 miles per day, after D days, the added length is 3D miles. When that is added to the original length, the total length is ...

L = 53 + 3D . . . . miles

__

(b) When D=31, the length is ...

L = 53 + 3·31 = 53 +93 = 146 . . . . miles

Find the GCF of the following monomials.<br><br> -50m4n7 and 40m2n10

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Assuming you are asking for the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of $-50m^4n^7$ and $40m^2n^{10}$ the answer is:

$10m^2n^7$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the GCF we should first find the GCF of the coefficients 50 and 40 which is 10.

After factoring that out we need to take a look at the variable m. In monomial 1 we see that the highest exponent of m is 4 and in the second is 2. When finding GCF we take the smallest of the two exponents which is 2. Therefore the next part of our GCF monomial is m²

If we apply the same rule for n the smallest exponent is 7 resulting in the appending of $n^{7}$ to the answer

After combining each of these GCF of 40 and -50 (10), m^4 and m² (m²), and n^7 and n^10 (n^7) the answer is:

$10m^2n^7$

What number should be added by both sides of the equation to complete the the square?<br> x^2-10x=7

NemiM [27]

You add 25 to both sides.
You take half the x term, which is 10/2=5, and square it, so 25.
