Answer:
Carlos and Pamela drove 120 miles on the first day, 240 miles on the second day, and 290 miles on the third day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of miles driven on the first day.
Then they drove twice as many miles, or 2x on the second day
and 50 miles more than the second day's, so 2x + 50
The total is 650 across all three days, so we'll take the sum.
x + 2x + (2x + 50) = 650
Combine like terms on the left
5x + 50 = 650
Subtract 50 on both sides
5x = 600
Divide by 5 on both sides
x = 120
Check work:
120 + 2(120) + 2(120) + 50 = 650
120 + 240 + 240 + 50 = 650
600 + 50 = 650
650 = 650
So they drove 120 miles on the first day
2*120 = 240 miles on the second day
and 2*120 + 50 = 240 + 50 = 290 miles on the third day
Answer:
A) 5:20 pm
B) 2:35 am
Step-by-step explanation:
The hours in am are from 00:00 - 12:00, the numbers after 12 for example 17, you subtract 12 and the remaining is the hours and what is left of the number for example 20 is the minutes.
I am horrible at explaining but I hope this helps... :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the smallest number is 'x', then the other number = x +1
x*(x+1)= 420
Use distributive property
x*x + x*1 = 420
x² + x - 420 =0 ------> this is the required quadratic equation.
