A car covered a certain distance at a speed of 24 mph. While returning, the car covered the same distance at a speed of 16 mph. What was the average speed of the car for the entire journey?

Answers

Answer 1

Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.

If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:

(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph

However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:

(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)

Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to trust me, this answer is correct. But here's my solution:

With the formula

Distance=Speed multiplied by Time, we can infer that Speed=Distance/Time.

But we only have one variable (Speed) in the two we need (Speed and Time), we have to pretend we have both variables. You can put the time as 1 hour, because that's the most basic unit. Note that this strategy will also work with 2 hours, 3 hours, or any measure of time.

So now for distance, let's see how fast a car can travel 24 miles. When going at 24 mph, then it'll take 1 hour. With 16 mph, then it'll take 1 hour and 30 minutes, so 1.5 or 3/2 hours.  

Now we have the distance, which is 2 times 24 (Because the 24 mph and 16 mph both traveled 24 miles), equaling 48, and time, which is 1 hour plus 1.5 hours, which is 2.5 hours.

Now we use the formula Speed=Distance/Time, with 48/2.5=19 1/5 or 19.2

Find the surface area of a cube
with side length 8.5 cm.

Answers

Answer:   433.5 square cm

=========================================================

Explanation:

A cube has 6 identical faces, all of which are squares.

Each square has a side length of 8.5 cm, so its area is (8.5)^2 = 72.25 sq cm.

The overall surface area, aka the area of all 6 faces combined, is 6*72.25 = 433.5 square cm

right angle triangle

find the missing side which is x​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find the names of the two sides we know

triangle showing Opposite, Adjacent and Hypotenuse

Adjacent is adjacent to the angle,

Opposite is opposite the angle,

and the longest side is the Hypotenuse.

Example: in our ladder example we know the length of:

the side Opposite the angle "x", which is 2.5

the longest side, called the Hypotenuse, which is 5

Step 2: now use the first letters of those two sides (Opposite and Hypotenuse) and the phrase "SOHCAHTOA" to find which one of Sine, Cosine or Tangent to use:

SOH...

Sine: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse

...CAH...

Cosine: cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

...TOA

Tangent: tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent

In our example that is Opposite and Hypotenuse, and that gives us “SOHcahtoa”, which tells us we need to use Sine.

Step 3: Put our values into the Sine equation:

Sin (x) = Opposite / Hypotenuse = 2.5 / 5 = 0.5

Step 4: Now solve that equation!

sin(x) = 0.5

Next (trust me for the moment) we can re-arrange that into this:

x = sin-1(0.5)

And then get our calculator, key in 0.5 and use the sin-1 button to get the answer:

x = 30°

Add the two equations.

S2x+3y=-12
(4x-4y=4

Answers

Answer:

I'll assume "S2x+3y=-12" is actually 2x+3y=-12 and that the question is to solve for x and y.

x = -(9/5)

y = -(14/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=-12

4x-4y=4

---

2x+3y=-12

8x+12y=-48  [Multiply the 1st equation by 4]

12x-12y=12   [Multiply the second equation by 3]

20x = -36     [Now we can add the two equations to remoce the y term]

x = -(36/20)  

x = -(9/5)       [The value for x]

====

2x+3y=-12        [Take either equation and s=use x=-(9/5) to find y]

2(-9/5)+3y=-12  

-(18/5) + 3y = -12

+ 3y = -12 + (18/5)

y = -4 + (6/5)

y = -(20/5)+(6/5)

y = -(14/5)          [This is the value of y that will work for both equations]

These equations both have the point (-9/5, -14/5) in common:  they intersect here.

This problem can also be solved by graphing each equation and finding the point they inersect on the graph (attached).
