Mr. Blue drove from Allston to Brockton, a distance of 105 miles. On his way back, he increased his speed by 10 mph. If the journey back took him 15 minutes less time, what was his original speed?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

His original speed was 60 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed formula is shown below:

speed = distance / time

For the first leg of the trip Mr. Blue drove at a speed of "x" mph, for a distance of 105 miles, therefore the time that took to complete the trip is:

time 1 = distance / speed

time 1 = 105 / x h

On the second leg of the trip Mr. Blue drove faster at a speed of "x + 10" mph, so the time it took him to complete the trip was 15 minutes less, therfore:

time 2 = time1 - (15/60) = (105/x) - 0.25 = (105 - 0.25*x)/x h

Applyint the time and speed from the second leg to the average speed formula we have:

x + 10 = {105/[(105 - 0.25*x)/x]}

x + 10 = 105*x/(105 - 0.25*x)

(x + 10)*(105 - 0.25*x) = 105*x

105*x + 1050 -0.25*x² - 2.5*x = 105*x

-0.25*x² -2.5*x + 1050 = 0 /(-0.25)

x² + 10*x - 4200 = 0

x1 = [-(10) + sqrt((10)² - 4*(1)*(-4200))]/2 = 60

x2 = [-(10) - sqrt((10)² - 4*(1)*(-4200))]/2 = -70

Since his speed couldn't be negative the only possible value was 60 mph.

Answer 2

Answer:

60 mph

You deposit $1500 in a bank account that pays 4% annual interest. Find the balance
after 6 years if the interest is compounded monthly. Round to the nearest cent.
Growth

Answers

Answer:

To calculate the balance after 6 years with monthly compounding, we can use the formula for compound interest:

A = P * (1 + r/n)^(n*t)

Where:

A = the final amount (balance) after t years

P = the principal amount (initial deposit)

r = the annual interest rate (as a decimal)

n = the number of times interest is compounded per year

t = the number of years

In this case:

P = $1500

r = 4% = 0.04 (as a decimal)

n = 12 (compounded monthly)

t = 6 years

Plugging in the values, we get:

A = 1500 * (1 + 0.04/12)^(12*6)

Calculating the right-hand side:

A = 1500 * (1 + 0.003333)^72

A = 1500 * (1.003333)^72

A ≈ 1500 * 1.265032

A ≈ $1897.55

Therefore, the balance after 6 years with monthly compounding, rounded to the nearest cent, is approximately $1897.55.

Mr. Wong cuts a coil of wire into two pieces in the ratio of 3:4. The length of the longer piece is 32 centimeters. What is the total length of the coil of wire?

Answers

Answer:

56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the pieces is 3:4.

The longer piece is 32 cm.

We set up a proportion to find the length of the smaller piece.

Let the length of the smaller piece be x.

3 is to 4 as x is to 32

3/4 = x/32

4x = 3 * 32

4x = 96

x = 24

The smaller piece is 24 cm.

24 cm + 32 cm = 56 cm

Answer: 56 centimeters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the other value in a ratio by dividing the value given by its corresponding value in the ratio, then multiplying the quotient by the other value in the ratio.

32 is the longer piece, and 4 is longer than 3.

32 / 4 = 8.

8 * 3 = 24

The shorter piece is 24 centimeters long.

The total length of the coil is 24 + 32, or 56 centimeters long.

A parallelogram has a base of 8.5 cm and a height of 6 cm. What is the area of the parallelogram

Answers

Answer:

51cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is : [tex]base*height[/tex]

To work out the area of a parallelogram you would simply multiply the base of 8.5 by the height of 6, this gives you 51cm^2. This is because the formula for the area of a parallelogram is base multiplied by the height.

1) Multiply 8.5 by 6.

[tex]8.5*6=51cm^2[/tex]

Answers

Answer: 140%

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: FIND THE CHANGE IN # OF PEOPLE:

initial # of people: 144

final # of people: 346

change in # of people = (final - initial)

change in # of people = (346 - 144)

change in # of people = 202

STEP 2: FIND THE % CHANGE

202/144 = x/100

(100)(202/144) = x

100(1.4) = x

140% = x

Answer:

140 %

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(3a+1) = 5(1+a)

What is a? And how do get the answer?

Answers

Just solve the equation

Given:

-2(3a+1) = 5(1+a)

-6a - 2 = 5 + 5a

11 a = -7

a = -7/11

Answer:

a = -7/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -2 and 5 through the parentheses, -6a - 2 = 5 + 5a

Move the Variable and constant  to a proper side, -6a - 5a = 5 + 2

Calculate like terms, -11a = 7

Divide both sides of the equation by -11, a = -7/11

Final answer, a = -7/11

Devon started the week with $50 in his checking account. On Monday he took $20 out of the

represents the change to his account balance on Tuesday?

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with 50

Took out 20

50-20 = 30

Then the balance was 0

We need to subtract 30 to get to get to 0

30-30 = 0

Taking out 30

Withdrawing 30

Spending 30

All are ways of indicating taking out 30 dollars

Answer:

On Tuesday, Devon took 30 dollars out of his checking account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with: $50        -        Ending with $0

Monday: took out $20 or in other words -20   50-20=30

Tuesday: undetermined, but since that was his last day, it would correspond with $0 so, he must've took out $30 and then ended up with none in the end.

30-30=0

So, he took 30 dollars out on tuesday.

2x - 3y = 18
5x + 9y = -10​

Answers

Answer:

2x - 3y = 18  (1)

5x + 9y = -10​   (2)

<=>

Multiply both sides of (1) by 5, and multiply both sides of (2) by 2, then:

10x - 15y = 90

10x + 18y = -20

Subtract (2) to (1):

=> 33y = -110 => y = -110/33

Substitute y back into (1):

=> 2*x - 3*(-110/33) = 18

=> 2*x + 10 = 18

=> 2*x = 8

=> x = 4

=> Solution: x = 4, y = -110/33
