Answer:
x difference is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Y values are the same so just find the difference in -4 and 4
3x+5=19
-5 -5
3x=14
/3 /3
x= 4 2/3
Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.
If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:
(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph
However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:
(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)
Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.

Since the area is that of a square, you know that all side lengths are the same.
Area is base times height (A = bh), but since base and height are the same for a square, you get the formula A = a².




The length of the side of a square with an area of 144 in² is
12 in.

This is a right triangle; use the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing lengths of right triangles. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Plug in your leg lengths:
a² + b² = c²
8² + x² = 21²
64 + x² = 441
x² = 377
x = 19.4
