Answer:11/4
Step-by-step explanation: u have to just put it backwards
You can use the equation d=rt
Amy 14.4=40r r=0.36 kilometers/minute
Bill 14.4=20r r= 0.72 kilometers/minute
Amy (0.36 kilometers/minute)(60 seconds/1000 meters)= 0.0216 meters/second
Bill (0.72 kilometers/minute)(60 seconds/1000 meters)=0.0432 meters/second
0.0432-0.0216=0.0216 meters/second faster than Amy
We start with

and wish to write it as

First, pull 2 out from the first two terms:

Let’s look at what is in parenthesis. In the final form this needs to be a perfect square. Right now we have

and we can obtain -10x by adding -5x and -5x. That is, we can build the following perfect square:

The “problem” with what we just did is that we added to what was given. Let’s put the expression together. We have

and when we multiply that out it does not give us what we started with. It gives us

So you see our expression is not right. It should have a -53 but instead has a -3. So to correct it we need to subtract another 50.
We do this as follows:

which gives us the final expression we seek:

If you multiply this out you will get the exact expression we were given. This means that:
a = 2
d = -5
e = -103
We are asked for the sum of a, d and e which is 2 + (-5) + (-103) = -106
Answer:
Debbie's opportunity cost of attending college for the year is $42,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Debbie quits her job, which pays $30,000 a year, to finish her college degree.
Her annual college expenses are $10,000 for tuition, $2,000 for books, and $700 for food.
So, her opportunity cost will include the amount of salary she could have earned if she continued working plus the cost of tuition plus the cost of books:
dollars
Therefore, Debbie's opportunity cost of attending college for the year is $42,000.
