Remark

You know the most about the trip on the way back and the total of the two trips.

Way Back

r = 30 mph

d = distance traveled

t = t - 1 where t = the time to go there which we know nothing about

Total Distance

2d = 25 mph * (t + t - 1)

2d = 25 * (2t - 1)

2d = 50t  - 25                 Divide by 2

2d = 50t/2 - 25/2

d = 25t - 12.5

Equation coming back

d = 30*(t - 1)

d = 30t - 30

Comment

Since the distances are the same, equate them.

Solution

25t - 12.5 = 30t - 30                     Subtract 25t from both sides

25t - 25t -12.5 = 30t - 25t - 30   Combine like terms

-12.5 = 5t - 30                              Add 30 to both sides

-12.5 + 30 = 5t - 30 + 30             Combine

17.5 = 5t                                       Divide by 5

17.5/5 = t                                      Divide and Switch

t = 3.5

t is the time going there

t - 1 is the time coming back

Total time = 2*t - 1 = 2*3.5 - 1 = 6

The total time is 6 hours.   Answer

If A PQR = ASTU, which statement must be true?
Aleks [24]

Answer:

O A. PQ = SU

Step-by-step explanation:

When two triangles are congruent then by CPCTC,

their corresponding parts ( angles and sides )  must be congruent.

In triangles PQR and STU,

Side PQ, QR and RP are corresponding to the sides ST, TU and US respectively,

Also, angles P, Q and R are corresponding to angles S, T and U respectively.

Here, Δ PQR ≅ Δ STU,

Thus, by the above property,

PQ ≅ ST, QR ≅ TU and RP ≅ US,

∠P ≅ ∠T, ∠Q ≅ ∠T and ∠R ≅ ∠U

Find the common factor of the given terms 6a^3 b^2 c, 24ab^3 c^4 , 12 abc​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the way you do it is by checking the letter in every term and seeing which instance has the lowest of that letter (for now pretend the regular numbers, in this case 6 24 and 12, aren't there). Once you do that you'll see that the last term has each variable (letter) to the power of one, so that will be the common factor for the letters. Next, look at the real numbers, and you see that the lowest number each can be divided by is 6. so you have 6abc. I'm tired and I think I explained it in a confusing way, so if you still have questions search up "how to find the greatest common factor in polynomials"
