Let Jean's speed while running = x mph
Then Jean's speed while riding will be = x+9 mph
Distance covered by running = 8 miles
Distance covered by riding = 11 miles
Total time taken to complete the race = 1.5 hours
As,
So, time for running=
And time for riding=
Equation becomes:
Now, multiply every term by 2x(x+9) to clear denominators:
Simplifying it we get
Solve the quadratic equation using formula
putting a=3 , b= -11, c= -144
we get (x - 9)(3x + 16) = 0
where x=9 and x=
Neglect the negative answer as speed cannot be negative, so x = 9 mph
Hence, Jean's running speed is 9 mph and riding speed is x+9 = 9+9 = 18 mph
The answer is 21x-25 because all you have to do is multiply the 1/4 by the 84x and then multiply 1//4 by negative 100. A simpler way of explaining this is just that you need to distribute
If you know the measurements of 2 sides not the height , you can apply Pythagorean theorem to find the height. Square root of the sum of the squared sides
