You can multiply the number of laps each person ran by the yards in each lap and then add them together:
440 + 2(440) + 3(440) + 4(440)
= 440 + 880 + 1,320 + 1,760
= 4,440 yards
Or you can add the laps first, then multiply by the yards in each lap
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4)(440)
= 10 x 440
= 4,400 yards
Question not well presented
Point S is on line segment RT . Given RS = 4x − 10, ST=2x−10, and RT=4x−4, determine the numerical length of RS
Answer:
The numerical length of RS is 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
RS = 4x − 10
ST=2x−10
RT=4x−4
From the question above:
Point S lies on |RT|
So, RT = RS + ST
Substitute values for each in the above equation to solve for x
4x - 4 = 4x - 10 + 2x - 10 --- collect like terms
4x - 4 = 4x + 2x - 10 - 10
4x - 4 = 6x - 20--- collect like terms
6x - 4x = 20 - 4
2x = 16 --- divide through by 2
2x/2 = 16/2
x = 8
Since, RS = 4x − 10
RS = 4*8 - 10
RS = 32 - 10
RS = 22
Hence, the numerical length of RS is calculated as 22

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The rate of current is 2.5 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed in the water when current is absent is 9 mph.
If the speed of the current is v mph then the upstream speed is (9 - v) mph and the downstream speed is (9 + v) mph.
Now, it takes 5 hours longer to travel 74 miles upstream than down stream, then we can write the equation as
⇒
⇒ 148v = 405 - 5v²
⇒ 5v² + 148v - 405 = 0
Applying Sridhar Acharya's formula we can write
(Neglecting the negative root)
⇒ mph (Rounded to the nearest 10th) (Answer)
Answer:
<u>Part 1:</u>
For Platinum Gym:
90 + 30x
For Super Fit Gym:
200 + 20x
<u>Part 2:</u> $270
<u>Part 3:</u> $320
<u>Part 4:</u> 11 months
<u>Part 5:</u> See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part 1:</u>
Let "x" be the number of months:
For Platinum Gym:
90 + 30x
For Super Fit Gym:
200 + 20x
<u>Part 2:</u>
We put x = 6 in platinum gym's equation and get our answer.
90 + 30x
90 + 30(6)
90 + 180
=$270
<u>Part 3:</u>
We put x = 6 into super fit's equation and get our answer.
200 + 20x
200 + 20(6)
200 + 120
=$320
<u>Part 4:</u>
To find the number of months for both gyms to cost same, we need to equate both equations and solve for x:
90 + 30x = 200 + 20x
10x = 110
x = 11
So 11 months
<u>Part 5:</u>
We know for 11 months, they will cost same. Let's check for 10 months and 12 months.
In 10 months:
Platinum = 90 + 30(10) = 390
Super Fit = 200 + 20(10) = 400
In 12 months:
Platinum = 90 + 30(12) = 450
Super Fit = 200 + 20(12) = 440
Thus, we can see that Platinum Gym is a better deal if you want to get membership for months less than 11 and Super Fit is a better deal if you want to get membership for months greater than 11.
