Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = distance from hive to flowers, in feet

flying time = 23 min - 18 min = 5 min = 300 sec

time flying to flowers = d ft × (1 sec)/(10 ft) = (d/10) sec

time flying to hive = d ft × (1 sec)/(6 ft) = (d/6) sec

d/10 + d/6 = 300 sec

:::::

d/10 + d/6 = 3d/30 +5d/30 = 8d/30 = 300

d = 300×30/8 = 1,125 ft

Solve the equation to find the value of m and n.<br> 2m + 3n = -5<br> 5m + 3n = 1
Leokris [45]

Answer:

m = 2, n = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2m + 3n = - 5 → (1)

5m + 3n = 1 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate n

2m - 5m = - 5 - 1

- 3m = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

m = 2

Substitute m = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for n

Substituting into (1)

2(2) + 3n = - 5

4 + 3n = - 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3n = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = - 3

A swimming pool has a perimeter of 80 feet the short side measures 16 feet what is the length of the longer sides of the pool
svlad2 [7]

2 x (L + W) = Perimeter

2(L + 16) = 80   Then divide both sides by 2

L + 16 = 40         Then subtract 16 from both sides

L = 24 feet
