Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
My teacher went over this problem, it's 2.
Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ m∠ABC = 40
∵ BD ray is the bisector of ∠ABC
∴ m∠ABD = m∠CBD = 20
In 2 Δ BAD and BCD:
∵ m∠BAD = m∠BCD = 90°
∵ m∠ABD = m∠CBD = 20°
∵ BD is a common side in the two triangles
∴ ΔABD congruent to ΔCBD⇒(AAS)
∴ AD = CD
∴ 3y + 6 = 5y - 18
∴ 5y - 3y = 6 + 18
∴ 2y = 24
∴ y = 24/2 = 12
From the beginning we know we are dealing with two different rates. Distance is equal to (Speed X Time). We have two different speeds though. We will call the min speed = x and the max speed = y. With those two ideas in place we can make two equations for both Tony and Rae.
Tony:
2x+3.5y=355
Rae:
2x+3y=320
Now you can solve the equations by subtracting Rae's equation from Tony's
.5y=35 solve for y and you get 70
Now plug that y value back into either equation and you can solve for x. I'll use Rae's distance:
2x+3(70)=320
x=55
Irrational numbers cannot be represented by a ratio of two integers.
All whole numbers, however, can. This can be done by placing the number over 1. For example 0/1, 34/1, 173635278/1.
