1 answer:

6 0

2x²-x-3=0 Factor this equation:
(2x-3)(x+1)=0 Then let each factor equal to 0 to solve for x
2x-3=0 and x+1=0
2x=3 x= -1
x= 3/2
The equation is solved by factoring

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Benjamin travels 7 meters in 100 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Circumference of tire = 2.8 m

Revolution of time = 1.5 times per minute.

Total time = 100 seconds.

We have to calculate distance covered by Benjamin.

Total number of revolution of tires =

$=\text{Revolution rate}\times \text{Time}\\\\=1.5\text{ revolution per minute}\times \dfrac{100}{60}\text{ minutes}\\\\=2.5 \text{ revolutions}$

Total distance covered by Benjamin =

$=\text{Number of revolution of tires}\times \text{Circumference of tire}\\=2.5\times 2.8\\=7\text{ meters}$

Thus, Benjamin travels 7 meters in 100 seconds.
