Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = (Rate)(Time) So, Time = (Distance)/(Rate)

Time at slower speed = Time at faster speed + 3

36/x = 36/(x+6) + 3

Multiply the equation by the LCD, x(x+6) to obtain:

36(x+6) = 36x + 3x(x+6)

36x + 216 = 36x + 3x2 + 18x

3x2 + 18x - 216 = 0

x2 + 6x - 72 = 0

(x + 12)(x - 6) = 0

x = -12 or x = 6

Since x can't be negative, x = 6 mph

What is f(g(x)) when f(x) = x2 + 5, and g(x) = 10 - 5x?

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain f(g(x)) substitute x = g(x) into f(x), that is

f(10 - 5x)

= (10 - 5x)² + 5 ← expand (10 - 5x)²

= 100 - 50x - 50x + 25x² + 5 ← collect like terms

= 25x² - 100x + 105 → D

What are the steps to solving this problem K + 8\5 = 1k

DaniilM [7]

-- Subtract K from each side of the equation.

8/5 = 0

-- There is no value for K that can make this a true statement. So the original equation has no solution.

Answer: 38

Step-by-step explanation:

3.8=19/5

u have to flip the reciprocal to divide by fraction so 1/10 will be just 10

Then u get 19/5 x 10

You can reduce the GCF so it would be 19 x 2

19 x 2 = 38

Or you can plug it into your calculator (3.8 x .1)
