Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

d1 = d

d2 = 75 - d

r1 = x

r2 = x + 7

t = 3

Equation

x*t + (x + 7)*t = 75

This equation represents the total distance travelled. Neither one of the cyclists have gone 75 miles, but they both have gone distances that equal a total of 75 miles.

Solution

3x + (x + 7)*3 = 75

3x + 3x + 21 = 75

6x + 21 = 75

6x = 54

6x/6 = 54/6

x = 9

Answer

The first cyclist is going 9 miles / hr

The second cyclist is going 16 miles / hour

<h3>What is percentage decrease?</h3>

Percentage decrease is the amount deducted or reduced from the initial value in the percentage part.

In the year 2017, an estimated 4,347,000 people in this country are illiterate. With new incentives and funding, The country is hoping to cut that number by 14% every year.

Total year from 2017 to 2025 are 8 years. Thus, use the following formula of compound interest to find percentage decrease:

A=P\times\left(1+\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^{t}\\

Here, A is the final population, The initial population is P, the rate is r and the time period is t. Put the values,

A=4347000\times\left(1-\dfrac{14}{100}\right)^{8}\\A\approx1300700

Thus, the number of people of the country which is predicted will be illiterate in the year 2025 are 1,300,700.

Please awnser questions, no links, no I dont know
Mrac [35]

Answer:

330cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(lh+hw+lw)

(lh) in this formula is length times height

(hw) is height times width

(lw) is length times width

To find the answer to this problem lets make the height 3/5cm the width 10cm and the length 15cm

so now you would do (15*3/5) which is 9. This solve (lh)

then you would find (3/5*10) which is 6. This solves (hw)

and lastly you would find (15*10) which is 150. This solves (lw)

Now that you now the value of each one of these you replace it in the equation as so: 2(9+6+150)

now you solve the brackets which leaves us with 2(165)

now you multiply 2 with 165

and the answer is 330cm

Surface area = 330cm
