joe jogs 2.5 slower than kelly jogs. in the time that it takes joe to jog 30 miles, kathy can jog 40 miles. find the jogging speed of each person.
--------------
2.5 what?
If it's 2.5 mi/hr,
r = Joe's rate
-----
30/r = 40/(r+2.5)
30r + 75 = 40r
r = 7.5 mi/hr
Kelly's rate = 10 mi/hr

(10x+7) (7x+3)
If they add to 180, then
(10x+7) + (7x+3) = 180
17x + 10 = 180
17x = 170
x = 10
etc.
---------

I don't know what a "vertical angle" is. Angles are measured between 2 lines. Vertical is a direction.

At 8 am, the Smiths left a campground, driving at 48 miles per hour. At 8:20 am, the Garcias left the same campground and followed the same route, driving at 60 miles per hour. At what time did they overtake the Smiths?
---------------------
20 min = 1/3 hour
In 1/3 hour, the Smiths are 16 miles away (48 mi/hr * 1/3 hr)
The Garcias gain on them at 12 mi/hr (60 - 48)
d = r*t
t = d/r = 16 mi/12 mi/hr = 1 1/3 hours = 1 hr 20 mins
8:20 + 1:20 = 9:40

How much water must be evaporated from 100 gallongs of a 4% brine solution to get a 5% brine solution?
-----------------
4% has 4 gallons of salt.
For 4 gallons to be 5%, Total solution = 4/0.05 = 80 gallons
100 - 80 = 20 gallons to be evaporated.

Evaluate the exponential function for the given x-values.
g(x) = 10x; x = -4 and x = 3
---------
10x is not exponential.

g(x) = 10x
g(-4) = 10*-4 = -4

i have a room 324 sq feet and i want to cover it with boards 1 x 8 x 10 how many boards will I need?
The room is 18 x 18 with 8 feet ceilings
--------------
I assume the boards are 8 inches by 10 feet, and 1 is the thickness ?? If that's not right, you'll have to supply dimensions with units.
----
Each board has an area of 8*10*12 = 960 sq inches.
324 sq ft = 324*144 sq inches = 46656 sq inches
46656/960 = 48.6 boards, IF you can cut them and put them together end to end without any loss (no sawdust).
-----
With some scrap, the number of boards needed will increase.

Find the value of b so that the equation will have exactly one rational solution.
12p^2+bp+3=0
----------------
2nd order equations ALWAYS have 2 solutions.
Sometimes it's the same solution, multiplicity 2, but there are 2 solutions.
