Ben and Landon took turns driving on their recent 820 mile road trip. Ben averaged 60 miles per hour while landon averaged 56 mi
Furkat [3]

Landon drove for 5 hours.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Given that,

Total distance of the road trip = 820 miles

Speed of Ben = 60 miles per hour

Speed of Landon = 56 miles per hour

<u><em>Step 1 </em></u><em>:</em>

Let 'x' be the number of miles Ben drove

Let 'y' be the number of miles Landon drove

<u><em>Step 2</em></u><em> :</em>

The trip took them 14 hours to complete 820 miles together.

x + y = 14

60x + 56y = 820

<u><em>Step 3 </em></u><em>:</em>

Solve the linear system x+ y= 14 and 60x+ 56y= 820

x + y = 14

x = 14 - y

<u><em>Step 4 </em></u><em>:</em>

Substitute x= 14-y in the second equation,

60(14-y) + 56y = 820

840 - 60y + 56y = 820

<u><em>Step 5</em></u><em> :</em>

Keeping y terms on one side and constants on other side,

60y - 56y = 840 - 820

4y = 20

y = 20/4

y = 5

Since 'y' is the number of miles Landon drove, the time Landon drove is 5 hours.

A rock is thrown in the air from the edge of a seaside cliff. Its height in feet is represented by f(x) = –16(x^2 – 8x – 9), whe
algol13
Since x is the number of seconds it took the rock to hit the water, x is the value that we are looking for. When the rock hits the water, it's height is 0, therefore, f(x) = 0. So, we can set the expression on the right equal to 0, and solve for 0. Let's do just that:
0 = -16(x^2-8x-9)

We can divide by -16, nothing will happen because 0 divided by anything is 0:
0 = x^2-8x-9

To factor any trinomial in standard form (given below), we must find two numbers that add to "b" and multiply to "c":
0 = ax^2 + bx + c

So, for this specific question, let's find two numbers that add to -8 and multiply to 9. These are clearly 9 and -1. We can write it in this way now:
0 = (x-9)(x+1)

Both answers would be valid, but there can't be negative time, so your answer is "It takes 9 seconds for the rock to reach the water."
