<u>Answer</u>:

See below!

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • distance = speed * time
  • speed = distance/time
  • time = distance/speed

<u>equation for distance</u>:

Lets Ben hours be x and Landon hours be y,

60x + 56y = 820 .........equation 1

<u>equation for time</u>:

\frac{60x}{60}+ \frac{56x}{56}  =14

x + y = 14 .........equation 2

Make x the subject:

60x + 56y = 820

x = (820 - 56y)/60 ..........equation 3

x + y = 14

x = 14 - y ........equation 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously:

  • 14 - y =  (820 - 56y)/60
  • 60(14 - y) = 820 - 56y
  • 840 - 60y = 820 -56y
  • 840 - 820 = -56y + 60y
  • 20 = 4y
  • y = 5

             [ Therefore Landon drove 5 hours ]

Extra's further investigated:

if y = 5

  • x = 14 - y
  • x = 14 - 5
  • x = 9

              [ Therefore Ben drove 9 hours ]

Answer:

Landon drove 5 hours (and Ben drove 9 hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B = number of miles Ben drove

Let L = number of miles Landon drove

Given The trip took them 14 hours

⇒ B + L = 14

Given, Ben averaged 60 miles per hour and Landon averaged 56 miles per hour. Ben and Landon took turns driving on a 820 mile road trip:

⇒ 60B + 56L = 820

Rewrite B + L = 14 to make B the subject, substitute into 60B + 56L = 820, and solve for L:

⇒ B = 14 - L

⇒ 60(14 - L) + 56L = 820

⇒ 840 - 60L + 56L = 820

⇒ 20 = 4L

⇒ L = 5

Therefore, Landon drove for 5 hours

The triangles below are similar. Which similarity statements describe the relationship between the two triangles? Check all that
Gekata [30.6K]

<u>Complete Question</u>

In triangle ABC: AC=10 , AB=5., Angle C = 30 degrees.  

In Triangle DEF: ED= 7.5 , DF=15, Angle F =30 degrees , Angle E = 90 degrees.  

Answer:

A, D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is drawn and attached below.

  • Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle DEF. (Option E)

Writing it backwards:

  • Triangle CBA is similar to Triangle FED. (Option A)

Also,

  • Triangle BAC is similar to EDF. (Option D).

Therefore, A, D and E are the similarity statements that describe the relationship between the two triangles.

Answer:

  • A. f(n) = (n + 1)^2 – 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure 1

  • 3 = 4 - 1 = 2² - 1 = (1 + 1)² - 1

Figure 2

  • 8 = 9 - 1 = 3² - 1 = (2 + 1)² - 1

Figure 3

  • 15 = 16 - 1 = 4² - 1 = (3 + 1)² - 1

<u>The function is:</u>

  • f(n) = (n + 1)² - 1
