Answer:
1104 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Say he lives in a place in Mexico which is at a distance of <em>a </em>miles from the Mexico-America border point and the reunion is at <em>b </em>miles from the same border point, in America.
So the total distance travelled is ( a + b ) miles
( this is just sum of distance travelled in Mexico + that in America )
Given , a=747 and a+b=1851
that implies:
747 + b = 1851
So, b = 1104 miles.
Therefore he has travelled 1104 miles in America,
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2
(x+5) *x = 6^2
x^2 +5x = 36
Subtract 36 from each side
x^2 +5x - 36 = 0
Factor
( x-4) (x+9) = 0
Using the zero product property
x-4 = 0 x+9 =0
x = 4 x=-9
Cannot be negative since that is negative length
x=4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we take an average of something, we have to add up all the data on the somethings and then divide by the number of somethings we have. Ed takes 5 tests, and we have scores for them; we also have his current average. What we don't know for sure are 2 of the 5 test scores, but we have enough to determine what they are.
If one test has a score of x, and the other test is 3 points less than that, the score on that last test is x - 3. Putting all of that together into an average problem:
and simplfiying a bit:
. Multiply both sides by 5 to get
256 + 2x = 450; subtract 256 from both sides to get
2x = 194 and divide by 2:
x = 97
The one test score was a 97 and the other one, which was 3 less than that, was a 94.
Answer:
C = 6.28r
Step-by-step explanation:
If the circumference of a circle is C, then C = 2(3.14)r, where r is the radius.
Then C = 6.28r
-45x-5x=11-11=2-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-50x = -2
-50/-2 = x
25=x
x=25
