Suppose you are a detective assigned to a robbery case. In this case, the robbery occurred at 2:30 PM. You have a witness who sa

w suspect at a gas station 12 miles from the robbery site at 2:48 PM. The suspect claims innocence, arguing that it would have been impossible to get to the gas station in that amount of time. Do you agree? Support your answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Time of robbery = 2 : 30 PM

Witness saw the suspect at the time = 2 : 48 PM

Difference in timings = 2 : 48 - 2 : 30 = 18 minutes

Distance of the robbery site and gas station = 12 miles

Speed by which suspect can drive to reach the gas station

= \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

= \frac{12}{18} miles per minute

= \frac{12}{18}\times 60 miles per hour

= 40 miles per hour

Since 40 miles per hour is a nominal speed by which the suspect can easily reach the gas station.

Therefore, I don't agree with the suspect's statement that it is impossible to get to the gas station in that amount of time.

Yes it is possible because:

at 2:30 PM the crime occurred but they went 12 miles away in 18 minutes to a gas station is possible (it wouldn’t be if they had to walk probably) but if they drove a car it is entirely possible

6(4x+2)=3(8x+4) ??<br> please help asap
nasty-shy [4]
6(4x + 2) = 3(8x + 4)

Reorder the terms:
6(2 + 4x) = 3(8x + 4)
(2 * 6 + 4x * 6) = 3(8x + 4)
(12 + 24x) = 3(8x + 4)

Reorder the terms:
12 + 24x = 3(4 + 8x)
12 + 24x = (4 * 3 + 8x * 3)
12 + 24x = (12 + 24x)

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
24x = 12 + -12 + 24x

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
24x = 0 + 24x
24x = 24x

Add '-24x' to each side of the equation.
24x + -24x = 24x + -24x

Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 24x + -24x

Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 0

Solving
0 = 0

What is the value of q?
andre [41]

Answer: here

Step-by-step explanation:riangles QST and RST are similar.  Therefore, the following is true:

q       s

--- = ----   This results in 10q=rs.

r      10

Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.

Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.  

           4      s

Also:  ---- = -----    which leads to s^2 = 40

           s      10

Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2

Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)

hope it helps

If MP is a perpendicular bisector to LN, find each value (picture attached)
solong [7]

Answer:

x=4, MN= 37, LM= 37, y=7.

Step-by-step explanation:

If MP is a perpendicular bisector to LN, then NP and LP are equivalent.

(Solve for y)

2y+2= 16

(Move the +2 to the right side of the equation)

2y= 14

(Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable)

y=7

To find x and the measure of MN and LM, solve for x in the following equation:

7x+9 = 11x-7

(Move 7x to the right side of the equation)

9 = 4x-7

(Move -7 to the right side of the equation.)

16= 4x

(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate the variable.)

4= x

Plug x back into both equations to get the measure of MN and ML

MN=7(4)+9

MN= 28+9

MN= 37

LM= 11(4)-7

LM= 44-7

LM= 37

I hope this helps!

<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B875%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title=" \sqrt[3]{875} " alt=" \sqrt[3]{875} "
icang [17]

We are given the following expression:

\sqrt[3]{875}

We can factor 875 as:

\sqrt[3]{125\times7}

Now we will use the following property:

\sqrt[x]{a\times b}=\sqrt[x]{a}\times\sqrt[x]{b}

Applying the property:

\sqrt[3]{125}\times\sqrt[3]{7}

Solving the cubic root on the left:

5\sqrt[3]{7}

Since we get simplify any further this is the answer.
