Answer:

  2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

If s is the speed going up the mountain, then s+1 is the speed coming down. The total trip time for 6 miles up and 6 miles down is ...

  6/s +6/(s+1) = 5

  6(s+1) +6s = 5(s)(s+1)

  5s^2 -7x -6 = 0 . . . . subtract the left side, simplify to standard form

  (s -2)(5s +3) = 0 . . . . factor

  s = 2 or -3/5 . . . . values that make the factors 0

Their speed was 2 miles per hour going up the mountain.

__

<em>Check</em>

It took 6/2 = 3 hours to go up the mountain, and 6/(2+1) = 2 hours to come down, for a total of 5 hours.

11. Keng creates a painting on a rectangular canvas with a width that is four inches longer
GrogVix [38]

Part A

<h3>Answer:  h^2 + 4h</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

We multiply the length and height to get the area

area = (length)*(height)

area = (h+4)*(h)

area = h(h+4)

area = h^2 + 4h .... apply the distributive property

The units for the area are in square inches.

===========================================================

Part B

<h3>Answer:  h^2 + 16h + 60</h3>

-------------------

Explanation:

If we add a 3 inch frame along the border, then we're adding two copies of 3 inches along the bottom side. The h+4 along the bottom updates to h+4+3+3 = h+10 along the bottom.

Similarly, along the vertical side we'd have the h go to h+3+3 = h+6

The old rectangle that was h by h+4 is now h+6 by h+10

Multiply these expressions to find the area

area = length*width

area = (h+6)(h+10)

area = x(h+10) ..... replace h+6 with x

area = xh + 10x .... distribute

area = h( x ) + 10( x )

area = h( h+6 ) + 10( h+6 ) .... plug in x = h+6

area = h^2+6h + 10h+60 .... distribute again twice more

area = h^2 + 16h + 60

You can also use the box method or the FOIL rule as alternative routes to find the area.

The units for the area are in square inches.
