Answer: 36 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> distance the kitten runs before being caught by the puppy

Remember that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

v=d/t

solve for t

t=d/v

so

equate the time

x/20=(180+x)/25

25x=20(180+x)

25x=3,600+20x

25x-20x=3,600

x=3,600/5=720 m

t=d/v=720/20=36 sec

or

t=(720+180)/25=900/25=36 sec

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we are starting with formula S=D/T; S= speed; D=distance; T=time

T= D/25 for puppy

T=(180-D)/20 for kitten

we are having 2 equations!

180 - D=20*T   and D<u>=25*T</u>   =>  180-25*T=20*T =>180= 45*T => T=180/45

T=4 SEC

T=D/25=>D=4*25=100 METERS

SO THEY WILL MEET AFTER 4 SECONDS IF THEY SIMULTANEOUSLY START RUNNING TOWARD EACH OTHER!

A rectangular garden has a walkway around it. The area of the garden is 6(6.5x + 2.5). The combined area of the garden and the w
Rasek [7]

According to the information given in the exercise, the following expression represents the area of the rectangular garden:

6\mleft(6.5x+2.5\mright)

And the following expression represents the combined area of the walkway around the rectangular garden and the area of the garden:

6.5\mleft(8x+6\mright)

You can identify that the word "combined" indicates that that expression was obtained by adding both areas.

Knowing the above, you can set up the following equation:

6(6.5x+2.5)+A=6.5(8x+6)

Where "A" is the area of the walkway around the rectangular garden.

Solving for "A", you get the following expression:

\begin{gathered} A=6.5(8x+6)-6(6.5x+2.5) \\ A=52x+39-39x-15 \\ A=13x+24 \end{gathered}

The answer is:

13x+24
