Using proportions, it is found that:
- Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
- MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.
---------------------------
- Peter is walking at a rate of x km/h.
- MJ is biking 6 km/h faster than Peter, thus 6 + x km/h.
- Opposite directions, thus, their distance increases at a rate of (6 + 2x) km each hour, as
.
6 + 2x km each hour, 18 km after 1.5 hours, thus, the rule of three is:
1h - (6 + 2x) km
1.5h - 18 km
Applying cross multiplication:
Then:
- Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
- MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.

Answer:
x =-35
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5x−3=−17
Add 3 to each side
2/5x−3+3=−17+3
2/5x = -14
Multiply each side by 5/2
5/2 * 2/5x = -14 * 5/2
x = -35

Ok so I like to go in steps with these questions- first draw a picture and identify your variables.
W=width
L= 3w-1
Now we know that length times width gets us area so we plug in our variables into the area equation.
200 = w(3w-1)
When you foil that equation you end up with a quadratic : 3w^2-w-200 = 0
Either factor that or use the quadratic formula to get
w= 8.33 and w= -8
Since you can't have a negative dimension you need to use 8.33 and plug it back into your length equation.
Final answer:
w= 8.33ft
l= 23.99ft
*Now I simplified the decimals a little bit so you end up with 199.8ft^2 for the area so just add a few decimals on here and there*
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find <em>x</em>. Since <em>x</em> is the average of the three number, add the three up and then divided by three. Thus:
<em>y</em> is the cube root of 8. Thus:
![y=\sqrt[3]{8}=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B8%7D%3D2)
So:
