Answer:
1 hour after they leave
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance each travels is proportional to its speed. The given speeds are at right angles to each other in a 5:12 ratio. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the hypotenuse of such a right triangle will have length ...
√(5²+12²)=√169 = 13
That is the speeds are in the ratio 5:12:13, where 13 represents the relative separation speed. Actual speeds are then 50 mph : 120 mph : 130 mph.
So the distance between the boat and steamer will be increasing at 130 mph. The distance will be 130 miles after 1 hour.
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
12x+252=324
Subtract 252 from each side
12x+252-252=324-252
12x =72
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = 72/12
x =6
Step-by-step explanation:
It should be all real numbers
Other number: x
one number: 5x - 2
x (5x - 2)=72
5x^2 - 2x = 72
