<h3>Answer: 104 miles</h3>

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

Explanation:

  • x = number of miles Amy drove
  • 2x = number of miles Jessica drove, since she drove twice the distance as Amy did

Combine the two expressions: x+2x = 3x

The two girls traveled a total distance of 312 miles, so 3x = 312

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x. You should get x = 104

Amy drove 104 miles and Jessica drove 2*104 = 208 miles

Check:

Amy + Jessica = 104 + 208 = 312

The answer is confirmed.

Answer:

Amy drove 104 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'a' = miles Amy drove

let '2a' = miles Jessica drove

a + 2a = 312

3a = 312

a = 312/3

a = 104

2a = 208

Check:  104+208 should equal 312 and it does

Hey there! :)

Answer:

r ≈ 4.38 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the radius by working backwards using the equation A = πr²:

Given:

A = 60.24 cm²

π = 3.14

Plug these into the equation:

60.24 = 3.14r²

Divide both sides by 3.14:

19.185 = r²

Take the square root of both sides:

r ≈ 4.38 cm.

Find 50% of 180 pls explain
Doss [256]

Answer:

50% of 180 is 90

Step-by-step explanation:

50% is like saying half. They want you to find half of 180, if you know 9 times 2 equals 18, then you already know the answer, all you have to do is add a 0 on the end of the 9.

Or if you're not as strong with mental math, plug into a calculator 180 times the decimal version of 50% which is .5. 180 times .5 equals 90.

Find the value of p p^2x^2-12x+p+7 one of the zero is 3/2
wel

Answer:

  p = 2  or  p = -2 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute x=3/2 into the equation and solve for the values of p that make the result be zero.

  p^2(3/2)^2 -12(3/2) +p +7 = 0

  9/4p^2 -18 + p + 7 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  9p^2 +4p -44 = 0 . . . . . . simplify and multiply by 4

  (9p +22)(p -2) = 0 . . . . . factor

Values of p that make 3/2 be one of the zeros are ...

  p = -22/9, p = 2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The <em>zero product rule</em> tells you a product will be zero if and only if a factor is zero. Hence the solutions to the quadratic are values of p that make the factors zero.

  9p +22 = 0   ⇒   9p = -22   ⇒   p = -22/9

  p -2 = 0   ⇒   p = 2

__

For p=2, the solution 3/2 has multiplicity 2. For p=-22/9, the other zero is x=123/242.
