Answer:
120
240
Step-by-step explanation:
We call the length of first part x
Length of second part = y
In the first scenario, it took the tortoise 110 sec to walk the first part and crawl the second.
So,
We have this equation,
x/4 + y/3 = 110
We take the LCM
(3x + 4y)/12 = 110
When we cross multiply
3x + 4y = 110x12
3x + 4y = 1320 ----- equation 1
For scenario 2
x/3 + y/4 = 100
When we take the LCM
(4x + 3y)/12 = 100
We cross multiply
4x + 3y = 100x12
4x + 3y = 1200 ------ equation 2
We now have two equations and we will solve for x and y using simultaneous linear equation.
3x + 4y = 1320 ----- 1
4x + 3y = 1200 ----- 2
We subtract equation 2 from 1 to get
- x + y = 120
We make y subject
y = x + 120 ----- 3
We put the value of y in equation 3 into equation 1
3x + 4(x + 120) = 1320
3x + 4x + 480 = 1320
7x + 480 = 1320
7x = 1320-480
7x = 840
We divide through by 7
x = 840/7
x = 120
We put value of x in equation 3
y = x + 120
y = 120 + 120
y = 240
120 and 240 are the lengths of the 2 parts of the journey.

Answer:
use pemdas(order of the operations)and you'll get the answer 27!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x - 10 = 4
-2x = 14 | Add 10 to both sides
x = -7 | Divide both sides by -2
B is the first term
c is the common ratio
if the first term is x and the 2nd is y then x times c=y
so
-5 times what=10?
what=-2
c=-2
the first term is -5
-5(-2)^(n-1)
b=-5
c=-2
12P4: 11•5•9=495
11P4: 11 •10•9•8=7920
