Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the speed as "s".

Remember that distance = speed * time

So, plugging the numbers given...

7 = s * 8.4

Divide both sides by 8.4

s = 5/6

Now, plug this into the distance = speed * time, with the distance being 10. Set the time as "t"

10 = 5/6 * t

Divide both sides by 5/6

12 = t

So, it would take 12 hours for the snail to crawl 10 miles.

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ { \sf{ - 13 {x}^{2} - 10x + 14}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{ - 9x - x - 7 {x}^{2} - 6 {x}^{2} + 8 + 6}$

Collect like terms

⇒ $\sf{ - 7 {x}^{2} - 6 {x}^{2} - 9x - x + 8 + 6}$

⇒ $\sf{ - 13 {x}^{2} - 10x + 8 + 6}$

Add the numbers

⇒ $\sf{ - 13 {x}^{2} - 10x + 14}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Yes it is possible to prove this is a parallelogram.

XN = NZ means the diagonal XZ has been bisected
The same goes for diagonal WY (because NY = NW)

Furthermore, we have the pair of vertical angles XNY and ZNW which are congruent

Through SAS, we can say that triangles XNY and ZNW are congruent

Using CPCTC, we can get to the fact that angle NWZ = angle NYX which are alternate interior angles leading to proving that XY || WZ

----------------------

If you repeat those steps above, but focus on triangles WNX and YNZ, we can prove that XW || YZ

----------------------

After proving that XY || WZ and XW || YZ, this is enough to prove we have a parallelogram as the opposite sides are parallel.

I Need help. Thanks.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2(5y-5)-3y\leq -7y+22$

Expand parentheses:

$-10y+10-3y\leq -7y+22$

Move all y's to one side and numbers to the other:

$-6y\leq 12$

Divide both sides by -6. Since you are dividing both sides by a negative number, you need to flip the comparator:

$y\geq -2$

Hope this helps!

It's a cube so x should also equal 6

X + 2 = 5x + 26 Please help

$x+2=5x+26$

Move all the x's to one side of the equation. This is a step necessary to solve this equation.

Subtract both sides by x.

$x+2-x=5x+26-x$
$2=4x+26$

Flip equation. We always want to have the variable written on the left side.

$4x+26=2$

Subtract both sides by 26.

$4x+26-26=2-26$
$4x=-24$

Divide both sides by 4 to finish this off.

$x=-6$

That's your answer. Have an awesome day! :)
