Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Brian passes Alex they both have travelled the same distance.

Call this distance d.

Let the speed that Brian passes = x miles/hour.

Distance = speed * time  so:

For Alex:

d = (x - 5) * 1.5        ( Alex cycles for 1 + 30 minutes =  1.5 hours)

For Brian:

d = x * 1

So substituting d = x in Alex's equation:

x = 1.5(x - 5)

x = 1.5x - 7.5

7.5 = 0.5x

7/5 / 0.5 = x

15 = x.

ANSWER:

Brian's speed is 15 miles/hour.

Alex's speed is 15 - 5 = 10 miles/hour.

Ashton designs movie sets. For one scene, he has to hang a banner across an archway that takes the shape of a parabola modeled b
Crazy boy [7]
No question is asked so I'm not sure what you are looking for but below I calculated the point where the two equations intersect:
y - x = 4 → y = x + 4
y = - x² + 6x
x + 4 = - x² + 6x
x² - 5x + 4 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 1) = 0
 x = 4, x = 1

when x = 4, then y = x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 → (4,8)
when x = 1, then y = x + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5 → (1,5)

The line and parabola intersect at two points: (4,8) and (1,5)

Suppose you flip 3 quarters, one at a time. What is the probability that you will
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The probability of the combination {H, T and H} is 0.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of flipping a quarter is:

S = {H and T}

The probability of both outcomes is same, i.e. P (H) = P (T) = 0.50.

It is provided that three quarters are flipped one at a time.

The outcomes of all the three quarters are independent of each other.

Compute the probability of the combination {H, T and H} as follows:

P(\text{H},\text{T and H}) = P(\text{H})\times P(\text{T})\times P(\text{H})

                        =0.50\times 0.50\times 0.50\\=0.125

Thus, the probability of the combination {H, T and H} is 0.125.

runben sees 14 wheels on a total of 6 bicycles and tricycles how many bicycles and tricycles are there
olganol [36]

Answer:

B = 4

T = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, figure out the equation.

We know that bicycles have 2 wheels, that there are 3 on a tricycle, and there are a total of 14 wheels and a total of 6 bicycles and tricycles.

Let b stand for bicycles and t stand for tricycles:

14 = 2b + 3t

6 = b + t

We can figure out the amount of either by rearranging the second equation to isolate one variable. I will solve it in two ways

In the first way, I will solve for b

(-t) 6 = b + t (-t)

6 - t = b

Plug this into the first equation and solve for remaining variable

14 = 2(6 - t) +3t

14 = 12 - 2t + 3t

14 = 12 +t

-12   -12

2 = t

6 - 2 = b

b = 4

The second way was to solve for t first

(-b) 6 = b + t (-b)

6 - b = t

14 = 2b + 3(6 - b)

14 = 2b + 18 - 3b

(-18) 14 = 18 -b  (-18)

-4/-1 = -b/-1

b = 4

6 - 4 = t

t = 2

It doesn't matter which way you go, they both give you the exact same answer.

Sooo, recap!

1) write equations

2) switch the easier of the two to isolate one variable

3) substitute to find other variable  (x2)

4) Find answers! =D

Hope this helps!

You have $30 to spend on gas for your vehicle this week. If gas costs $2.42 per gallon, how many gallons of gas can you buy? Rou
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

you can get 12 gallons on gas

Step-by-step explanation:

x/30=1/2.42

step 1) cross multiply

x * 2.42 = 1 * 30

2.42x=30

step 2) divide both sides by 2.42

2.42x/2.42 = 30/2.42

= 12.396694

round to the nearest gallon

≈12 gallons
