<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

14 miles

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>The relation that will be used to solve this problem is:</u>

Distance = Velocity*Time

<u>which can be rewritten as:</u>

Time = \frac{Distance}{Velocity}

<u>Assume that:</u>

Distance from your house to your friend's house is d

Time taken from your house to your friend's house is t₁

Time taken from your friends house to your house is t₂

<u>1- From your house to your friend's house:</u>

Average rate = 35 miles/hour

<u>Therefore:</u>

t_{1} = \frac{d}{35}

<u>2- From your friend's house to your house:</u>

Average rate = 40 miles per hour

<u>Therefore:</u>

t_{2} = \frac{d}{40}

<u>3- Round trip:</u>

We know that the round trip took 45 minutes which is equivalent to 0.75 hours

<u>This means that:</u>

t₁ + t₂ = 0.75 hours

\frac{d}{35}+\frac{d}{40}=0.75\\ \\\frac{40d + 35d}{1400}=0.75\\  \\\frac{75d}{1400}=0.75\\  \\ 1050 = 75d\\ d=14 miles

Hope this helps :)

A regular pentagon has side lengths of 10 cm and an
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: 172 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a pentagon (A) = 1/2× 5s × a

Where:

s : side of the pentagon

a: apothem

Replacing with the values given and solving for A (area):

A =1/2 x (5 x10) x 6.88

A = 172 square centimeters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

What is the general form of the equation of the line shown?
ZanzabumX [31]

Check the picture below.  So let's use those two points on the line.

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3-0}{3-0}\implies \cfrac{3}{3}\implies 1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-0=1(x-0)\implies y=x \\\\\\ -x+y=0\implies \stackrel{\textit{standard form}}{x-y=0}

bearing in mind that the standard form is also a general form.

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
