Answers

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is 3.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The distance the fisherman rowed is 3.2 miles if the fisherman can row upstream at 1 mph and downstream at 4 mph.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

It is given that:

A fisherman can row upstream at 1 mph and downstream at 4 mph.

He started rowing upstream until he got tired and then rowed downstream to his starting point.

Let the time of row upstream is x hours

Let the time of row downstream be y hours

From the question:

x + y = 2

x = 2 - y

x = 4y

Solving the above two linear equations by substitution method:

2 - y = 4y

5y = 2

y = 2/5

y = 0.4 hours

Distance = speed×time

Distance = 4×0.4 = 1.6 miles

= 1.6×2 = 3.2 miles

Thus, the distance the fisherman rowed is 3.2 miles if the fisherman can row upstream at 1 mph and downstream at 4 mph.

GEOMETRY: need some help on these equations, i'm giving a lot of points for this.

Answers

Answer:

1) ML=93

2) GE=58

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

We want to find ML.

So, we need to find x first.

Note that the entire segment, NK, is the addition of the segments NM, ML, and LK. So:

[tex]NM+ML+LK=NK[/tex]

And we know their equations. So, substitute 110+4x for NM, x+103 for ML, 70 for LK, and x+243 for NK. Thus:

[tex](110+4x)+(x+103)+(70)=x+243[/tex]

On the left, combine like terms:

[tex](4x+x)+(110+103+70)=x+243[/tex]

Add:

[tex]5x+283=x+243[/tex]

Subtract 283 from both sides:

[tex]5x=x-40[/tex]

Subtract x from both sides:

[tex]4x=-40[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]x=-10[/tex]

So, the value of x is -10.

Substitute this into ML to find it. So:

[tex]ML=(-10)+103[/tex]

Add:

[tex]ML=93[/tex]

And we're done!

2)

Here, we want to find GE. This means solving for x again.

Note that HF plus FE equates to the entire segment.

HG plus GE also equates to the entire segment.

Thus:

[tex]HF+FE=HG+GE[/tex]

Substitute 3x-129 for HF and 4 for FE.

Substitute 13x-993 for HG and 3x-185 for GE. Thus:

[tex](3x-129)+(4)=(13x-993)+(3x-185)[/tex]

Combine like terms on both sides:

[tex](3x)+(-129+4)=(13x+3x)+(-993-185)[/tex]

Add or subtract:

[tex]3x-125=16x-1178[/tex]

Add 1178 to both sides:

[tex]3x+1053=16x[/tex]

Subtract 3x from both sides:

[tex]1053=13x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 13:

[tex]x=81[/tex]

So, the value of x is 81.

To find out GE, GE is the 3x-185. So:

[tex]GE=3(81)-185[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]GE=243-185[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]GE=58[/tex]

Matt is four years younger than twice his cousin Andy’s age. The sum of their ages is greater than 35. What is the youngest age that Andy can be?

Answers

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

let m = Matt's age

let a = Andy's

:

Write an equation for each statement

:

Matt is four years younger than twice his cousin Andy’s age.

m = 2a - 4

The sum of their ages is greater than 35.

m + a > 35

What is the youngest age that Andy can be?

replace m with (2a-4) from the 1st statement

2a - 4 + a > 35

3a > 35 + 4

a > 39/3

a > 13

least integer has to be a = 14

:

:

Check, find m

m = 2(14) - 4

m = 24

24 + 14 = 38 greater than 35

If a = 13

m = 2(13) - 4

m = 22

22 + 13 = 35 which is not greater than 35

Amount saved per week = $55

Number of weeks to save for is W

Amount saved in W weeks is $55W

Total amount saved in W weeks is $150 + $55W

The midpoint of AB is M(-3,-3). If the coordinates of A are (-8,-2), what are the coordinates of B? Please explain

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!!

Here,

The midpoint of AB is M(-3,-3) and coordinates of A is (-8,-2).

Now,

Using midpoint formulae,

[tex](x,y) =( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} ,\frac{y1 + y2}{2} )[/tex]

Put all values.

[tex]( - 3,- 3) = ( \frac{ - 8 + x}{2} , \frac{ - 2 + y}{2} )[/tex]

As they are equal, equating with their corresponding elements we get,

[tex] - 3 = \frac{ - 8 + x}{2} [/tex]

Simplify them.

[tex] - 6 = - 8 + x[/tex]

[tex]x = - 6 + 8[/tex]

Therefore, x= 2

Now,

[tex] - 3 = \frac{ - 2 + y}{2} [/tex]

Simplify them.

[tex] - 6 = - 2 + y[/tex]

[tex]y = - 6 + 2[/tex]

Therefore, y = -4.

Therefore, the coordinates of B are (2,-4).

El productor del números es 28. Sabiendo que el primer número es 3 unidades menor que el segundo, calcula los dos número

Answers

Answer:

Tienes 3 números, "x", "y", "z"

=> El primero es 20 unidades menor que el segundo:

El primero es "x", y el segundo es "y", entonces:

x = y - 20

=> El tercero es igual a la suma de los dos primeros:

El tercero es "z", entonces:

z = x + y

z = (y - 20) + y

z =  2y - 20

=> Entre los tres suman 120

x + y + z = 120

y - 20 + y + 2y - 20 = 120

4y - 40 = 120

4y = 160

y = 40

Si y = 40, entonces:

x = y - 20

x = 20

Además, z = 2y - 20

z= 60
