The diagonals of a square bisect one another and are perpendicular.
so 21x+ 16.5 = 90
subtract 16.5 from each side
21x = 73.5
divide by 21 on each side
21x/21 = 73.5 /21
x = 3.5
The expression equivalent to the total distance Rhonda drove is 51x = 275
Given:
Distance 1:
Number of miles = 51 miles
Number of hours = 5 hours
Distance 2:
Number of miles = 55 miles
Number of hours = x hours
<em>Ratio of miles to number of hours</em> = 51 miles : 5 hours
<em>Ratio of miles to number of hours</em> = 55 miles : x hours
Equate the ratios
51 : 5 = 55 : x
51/5 = 55/x
cross product
51 × x = 5 × 55
51x = 275
x = 275 / 51
x = 5.392156862745098
Approximately,
x = 5.4 hours
Therefore, the number of hours taken to travel 55 miles is 5.4 hours

Answer: x=4
Step-by-step explanation: first you should write it out like it is telling you. put a line and EG is the line and f is in the middle of the two looks kinda like this E F G but they are on a line EG= 25 that means the whole thing equals 25. EF= 2x-6 and FG= 4x+7. when you plug that in it should look like this 25=2x-6+4x+7 then solve.
