This is a proportion question.

0.5:40 miles :: 5:x

Translated into division you get 0.5/40 = 5/x          Cross multiply

0.5 x = 40 * 5                   combine the right

0.5x = 200                       divide by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 200/0.5          Divide

x = 400

Answer: The two cities are 400 miles apart

Sanjay consulted three electricians about upgrading the wiring in his home. Each electrician uses a linear formula that incorpor
Reptile [31]
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
b.Each electrician charges a different base fee:

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>Each of the equations has two parts:</u>
1- base fee that is independent of any variable (this would be the number that has no variable next to it)
2- an hourly rate depending on the number of hours x (this would be the number that has an x next to it)

<u>For the first electrician:</u>
y = 25x + 30
base fee = $30
hourly rate = $25

<u>For the second electrician:</u>
y = 30x + 25
base fee = $25
hourly rate = $30

<u>For the third electrician:</u>
y = 25x + 20
base fee = $20
hourly rate = $25

<u>Now, let's check the choices:</u>
<span><u>a.Each electrician charges a different hourly rate:</u>
</span>This is incorrect as electricians 1 and 3 charge the same hourly rate ($25)

<span><u>b.Each electrician charges a different base fee:</u>
This is correct as all three base fees are different ($30, $20 and $25)

</span><span><u>c.All three electricians charge the same hourly rate:</u>
This is incorrect as electrician 2 has a different hourly rate

</span><span><u>d. All three electricians charge the same base fee:</u>
This is incorrect as the base fees for the three electricians are different ($30, $25 and $20)

Hope this helps :)</span>

Elden [556K]

Using the given formula T = LS

And given the time is 3 minutes (3 x 60 = 180 seconds)and the speed is 4-1/2 inches per second:

180 = L x 4-1/2

Solve for L by dividing both sides by 4-1/2:

L = 180 / 4-1/2

L = 40

The length should be 40 inches.

Adiya said that the first step to solving the quadratic equation x2 + 6 = 20x by completing the square was to divide 6 by 2, squ
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.
