Answer: Chuck's travel at a rate of 52mph
Step-by-step explanation:
For Chuck's trip:
D=RT
104= (R+4)T
T= 104 / (R+4)
For Dana's trip:
96 = RT
T= 96/R
Set both equation for Chuck's and Dana together
104/(R+4) =96/R
Then we cross multiply
96(R+4) = 104R
96R + 384 = 104R
104R - 96R = 384
8R = 384
To get R, divide both side by 8
8R/8 = 384/8
R= 48mph
This means Dana's speed is 48mph
Chuck's speed will be: 48mph+4mph = 52mph
Answer:
The sum of reciprocals is 2/3.
You don't need complex numbers to solve this, but if you try to find a and b you will need complex numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b = 2
a*b = 3
1/a + 1/b = x
(a*b)*(1/a + 1/b) = (a*b)x
b + a = (a*b)(x)
2 = 3x
x = 2/3
b = 2 - a
a*(2 - a) = 3
-a^2 + 2a = 3
-a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0
a^2 - 2a + 3 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
a^2 - 2a + 3 = a^2 - 2a + 1 + 2 = (a - 1)^2 + 2 = 0
(a - 1)^2 = -2
these options correspond to a and b from the original question.
12.5 kilometers per liter
First, since we must follow PEMDAS, we need to do the operation that is first, which is addition.
-3.9 + 6.01 ← Adding a negative means subtracting, then giving the sign of the bigger number.
So now we solved those and we got this answer: 2.11
Now, we need to subtract and re-write the expression.
2.11 - (-7.423) = 2.11 + 7.423= 9.533
Ok....so now we have our final answer, and we have the choices above.
The only answer that matches ours is the last one.
Final answer: 9.533
Hope I helped ^_^
