Answer:
(A) y - x
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding a:
- ax + x² = y² - ay
- ax + ay = y² - x²
- a(x+y)= (y+x)(y-x)
- a = y - x
Correct choice is (A)
You just have to use the squares one to factor this and this is what I got.
Answer:
7.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Time is inversely proportional to speed for the same distance. The bus speed is 40/50 = 4/5 of the car speed, so it will take 5/4 as long.
(5/4)·(6 h) = 7.5 h
__
If you like, you can use the relations ...
distance = speed × time
time = distance/speed
to compute the distance between A and B, then the time at the lower speed:
distance = (6 h) × (50 mi/h) = 300 mi
time = (300 mi)/(40 mi/h) = 30/4 h = 7.5 h
Slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-13-(-7)) = -6
-6/3 = -2
x - 3 = 3, x = 6
The solution: x = 6
