Speed traveling west = x - 10 km /hr


275 / ( x-10) - 300 / x = 1/2



275 *2x - 300 (x-10)*2 = ( x-10) *x



550x - 600x +6000 = x^2 -10x



x^2 +40x - 6000 = 0


( x -60) ( x+100) = 0


x = 60


ANSWER East = 60 km/ hr West = 50 km /hr


CHECK


300 /60 = 5 hours

275 /50 = 5.5 hours

Your drawer has 5 pairs of black socks, 4 pairs of gray socks, 2 pairs of white socks, 1 pair of brown socks, and 1 pair of blue
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
5 pairs of black socks*2 because it’s a pair= 10 socks
4 pairs of grey socks*2=8
2 pairs of white socks*2=4
1 pair of brown socks*2=2
1 pair of blue socks*2=2
10 socks+8 socks+4 socks+2 socks+ 2 socks=26 socks in total
26/2=13+1 because you need to be sure you get one pair of socks. The smallest amount of socks you would have to grab to get at least one matching pair is 14 socks.

Sheri’s cab fare was $32, with a 20% gratuity and no taxes. Sheri wrote a check to the cab driver for $40.
stira [4]

Yes, $40 is a reasonable amount to pay for the cab fare.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Sheri’s cab fare was $32 and the percentage of gratuity is 20%

So, the amount of gratuity will be: \$32* 20\% = \$32*0.20= \$6.40

Thus, <u>the fare of the cab including the gratuity</u> will be:  \$32+\$6.40 = \$38.40

As Sheri wrote a check to the cab driver for $40 , it means she paying ($40 - $38.40) or <u>$1.60 more to the cab driver</u>. So, the $40 check is a reasonable amount to pay for the cab fare.

Which phrase describes the perpendicular distance between two bases of a cylinder
Flura [38]

Answer:

The height of the cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular distance between two bases of a cylinder is not going to be the radius or diameter of the bases (because it is BETWEEN the bases, not ON them) and it is not the area of the bases because the area of a shape cannot be a distance.

So, the only option left is the height of the cylinder, which is the correct answer.

Alex is x years old. Addison is y years younger. Find their combined age in 10 years’ time.
stira [4]

Answer:

x+10-y

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm not 100% sure about this response, but i'd assume the answer is like this for the following reasons:

alex is x years old, and 10 years have passed, meaning 10 years are added onto his age (x+10). addison is still the same amount of years apart from him in age, so you subtract y from that (x+10-y).
