Brian drives 215 miles at an average speed. He then travels 75 more miles at a speed

1 answer:

6 0

His average speed for the first trip is 43 mph

Since Brian's average speed is x and he travels the first part for 215 miles in time t.

So, his distance d = xt

Also, the travels 75 more miles at a speed of 15 mph.

Since distance = speed time, the time he takes to cover this distance is

t' = distance/speed = 75 mi/15 mph = 5 hours

Since he covers both distances in the same time, we have that t = t' = 5 hours.

So, his average speed for the first trip x = d/t

= 215 mi/5 h

= 43 mph

His average speed for the first trip is 43 mph

The answer is A = x since the opposite sides of a rectangle are the same length.
We'll have B = 9x+2 since this must add to x+4 to result in 10x+6. You could also do (10x+6) - (x+4) and you'll end up with 9x+2.
On the far left side, (5x-3)+A = 5x-3+x = 6x-3. The far right side must add to this. So, x+C+x-2 = 6x-3 turns into C = 4x-1 after isolating C.
Multiply out (5x-3) with (9x+2) to get the full area of 45x^2-17x-6. The steps are shown below

(5x-3)(9x+2)

5x(9x+2)-3(9x+2)

45x^2+10x-27x-6

45x^2-17x-6

You could also use the FOIL rule to get this answer. The box method is another alternative.
