Answer:
a) distance traveled is 16 miles.
b) distance traveled is 40 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed is a scalar quantity which describe the rate of distance moved with time.
i.e speed = 
Given that: distance = 2 1/3 miles =
miles, time = 3 1/2 minutes =
minutes.
Then;
speed =
÷ 
=
x 
= 
The car's steady speed is 0.67 miles per minute.
a) when the time is 24 minutes, the distance covered can be determine by:
distance = speed x time
=
x 24
= 16
distance traveled is 16 miles.
b) When the time is 1 hour (60 minutes), the distance traveled can be determined by:
distance = speed x time
=
x 60
= 40
distance traveled is 40 miles.
You can solve this 2 ways: plug in all of the options or solve for x.
i going to solve for x.
given: x^2+2x=24 (subtract 24 on both sides to get make it look like x^2+x+1)
x^2+2x-24=0 (now factor x^2+2x-24 out)
<span>x^2+2x-24 --> (x-4)(x+6)
</span>
new equation: <span>(x-4)(x+6)=0 (now make them both equl zero)
new equaions: </span>x-4=0 x+6=0 <span> (now solve for x for both)
x-4=0 x+6=0
x=4 x=-6
your <span>answer is 4 and -6.
if you were not taught how to do what i just did then i can message you how to plug those numbers into </span></span><span> x^2+2x=24 to find the answer.</span>
