Answer:

The required equation is x+295=285 , where x= starting altitude( in feet).

The starting altitude is -11 feet.

Let x be the starting altitude( in feet) .

Given: The Hiking Club is taking another trip. The hike leader's watch shows that they gained 296 feet in altitude from their starting position.

Then, the altitude is now = x+ 296

Since their altitude is now 285 feet.

So the required equation is x+296=285

Subtract 296 from both sides, we get

x= -11

Answer:

x= -11

Step-by-step explanation:

the altitude is now = x+ 296

Their altitude is now 285 feet.

So the required equation is x+296=285

Subtract 296 from both sides, we get

x= -11

What is the solution to the equation −p − 13 = −4 /3 p + 2/3 ( 5p − 6 ) ?
jekas [21]

Answer:

The answer is p= 2 and 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer can be found using the order of operations to solve for p.

Start by distributing 2/3 by (5p-6)

add -4/3p to 10/3p equaling 6/3p or 2p

subtract 13 from both sides

-p= 2p - 7

p=2 and 1/3

The distance between the cities Chicago and Toronto is 540 miles. A motorcycle's speed is 48 mph. For a car, it takes 2.25 hours
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

Distance between the cities = 540 miles

Speed of motorcycle =48 mph

TO CALCULATE THE TIME TAKEN BY MOTORCYCLE TO COVER THE TOTAL DISTANCE WE USE THE FORMULA :

\frac{DISTANCE}{SPEED}

By putting given values in the formula we get :

\frac{540}{48}

= 11.25 hours

Now, We are given that for a car to cover the same distance it takes 2.25 hours less than the time taken by motorcycle

⇒ 11.25 hours - 2.25 hours

⇒ 9 hours

Thus , Time taken by car to cover the same distance is 9 hours .

Now to calculate speed of car by using formula:

\frac{distance}{time}

\frac{540}{9}

= 60 mph

Let t be the time taken to meet if they start moving towards each other.

So distance covered by motorcycle in t hours is

speed\times time

= 48t miles

Distance covered by car in t hours is

speed\times time

= 60t miles

⇒ 60t + 48t =540

⇒ 108t = 540

⇒ t= 5 hours

Therefore, time taken to meet if they start moving towards each other is 5 hours.
