Answer:

45 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the:

Total distance covered = 390 miles

Total time = 8 hours

Let the distance covered along the local way = L

And the distance covered along the highway = H

Along with local way,

Speed = distance/ time

20 = L / T

T = L /20 .... (1)

Along the highway,

Distance covered H = 390 - L

Let the time = t

Speed = distance/time

60 = (390 - L)/t

t = ( 390 - L)/60

But total time = T + t

That is

8 = L/20 + (390 - L)/60

The LCM at right hand side will be 60

8 = ( 3L + 390 - L )/60

Cross multiply

480 = 2L + 390

Collect the like terms

2L = 480 - 390

2L = 90

L = 90/2

L = 45 miles.

Therefore, the distance Minato drive along local roads is 45 miles

Zach read a book for 10 minutes every weekend in the first month, 20 minutes in the second month, 40 minutes in the third month,
den301095 [7]
Zach time of reading every weekend forms a sequence with these terms: 10, 20, 40, 80. On the other hand, that of Victoria forms a sequence with terms: 35, 50, 65, 80. By keenly observing the sequences, Zach's sequence is a geometric sequence with a common ratio equal to 2 and Victoria's sequence is an arithmetic or linear sequence with a common difference of 15. Thus, the answer is letter B.

The rectangle below has an area of 8x^5+12x^3+20x^28x 5 +12x 3 +20x 2 8, x, start superscript, 5, end superscript, plus, 12, x,
juin [17]

Answer:

The width is: w(x)=4x^2

The length is l(x)=2x^2+3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rectangle has area given algebraically by the function:

a(x)=8x^5+12x^3+20x^2

The width of the rectangle is the greatest common factor of 8x^5,  12x^3 and 20x^2

That is the width is: w(x)=4x^2

We now divide the area by the width to obtain the length of the rectangle:

l(x)=\frac{8x^5+12x^3+20x^2}{4x^2}

This simplifies to:

l(x)=\frac{8x^5}{4x^2}+\frac{12x^3}{4x^2}+\frac{20x^2}{4x^2}

l(x)=2x^2+3x+5

Sylvester and Lin go to the amusement park. Sylvester plays 5 rounds of mini golf and takes 4 turns in the batting cages for $60
leva [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

let's use g for golf and b for batting cages

So let's start with Sylvester

he plays 5 rounds of mini golf so 5g

and he takes 4 turns in the batting cages so 4b

and he pays 60 dollars for this

SO his equation is 5g+4b=60

Now onto Lin

3g for 3 rounds of golf

6b for 6 turns in the batting cages

He pays 45 dollars

SO his equation is 3g+6b=45

Both equations:

5g+4b=60

3g+6b=45

Now you need to cancel out one variable so you can multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by -5

15g+12b=120

-15g-30b=-225

Now the g will cancel out when you add both equations

-18b=-105

b=105/18 which is about 5.83 dollars

Now plug in 105/18 into any of the original equations and solve for g
