Travel_Word_Problems/277732: Chuck and Dana agree to meet in Chicago for the weekend. Chuck travels 160 miles in the same time that Dana travels 145 miles. If Chuck's rate of travel is 3 mph more than Dana's, and they travel the same length of time, at what speed does Chuck travel? 1 solutions
Answer 202266 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-03-06 18:44:32 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!D=RT
160=(R+3)T
T=160/(R+3)
145=RT
T=145/R
SEEING AS THE TIMES ARE THE SAME:
160/(R+3)=145/R CROSS MULTIPLY.
160R=145(R+3)
160R=145R+435
160R-145R=435
15R=435
R=435/15
R=29 MPH FOR DANA'S RATE.
29+3=32 MPH FOR CHUCK'S RATE.

Answer 202249 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-03-06 18:05:09 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Area=pir^2
Area=3.14(30/2)^2
Area=3.14*15^2
Area=3.14*225
Area=706.5 m^2 is the area of the flower garden.
Area=3.14(33/2)^2
Area=3.14*16.5
Area=3.14*272.25
Area=854.865 m^2 is the area of the flower garden plus the walkway.
The diference in area is the area of the walkway.
854.865-706.5=148.365 m^2 is the area of the walkway.

45y=3,600-1,800
45y=1.800
y=1,800/45
y=40 refrigerators wer eon the truck.
Proof:
51,000=300*50+900*40
51,000=15,000+36,000
51,000=51,000

Expressions-with-variables/277833: 1. Solve for x. 3/10 = 5/x where / means a fraction bar.
2. Divide and simplify: The fraction (x^2-4)/(x) divided by the fraction
(4x - 8) / (x)
3. Add and simplify: The fraction 4/(a^2 -1) + the fraction (1)/(2a + 2)
4. Using the LCD, solve: 3 + the fraction (1)/(x - 2) = the fraction
(2x - 3) / (x - 2)
Show use of the LCD.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!1. Solve for x. 3/10 = 5/x
cross multiply
3x=5*10
3x=50
x=50/3
x=16 2/3 ans
2. Divide and simplify: The fraction (x^2-4)/(x) divided (4x-8)/(x)
Invert the denominator & multiply.
(x^2-4)/x*x/(4x-8) cross multiply
(x^2-4)/4(x-2)
(x+2)(x-2)/(x-2) cancel out the (x-2 terms.
x+2 ans.
3. Add and simplify: The fraction 4/(a^2-1)+(1)/(2a+2)
Find the LCD (a^2-1)(2a+2)
[4(2a+2)+(a^2-1)]/(a^2-1)(2a+2)
[4*2(a+1)+(a+1)(a-1)]/(a+1)(a-1)*2(a+1)
[(8+1)(a+1)(a-1)]/3(a+1)(a-1)
[8(a+1)(a-1)]/3(a+1)(a-1) cancel out 3(a+1) & (a-1)
5(a+1) ans.
4. Using the LCD, solve: 3+(1)/(x-2)=(2x-3)/(x-2)
LCD=(x-2)
3(x-2)+1/(x-2)=(2x-3)/x-2)
[3x-6+1]/(x-2)=(2x-3)/(x-2) cancel out the denominators.
3x-5=2x-3
3x-2x=-3+5
x=2 ans.
Proof is not valid because (2-2)=0 & you cannot divide by 0.
Show use of the LCD.

Quadratic_Equations/277834: Quadratic functions
I'm confused on how to set up and solve this problem. Among all pairs of numbers with a sum of 205, find the pair whose product is maximum. 1 solutions
Answer 202219 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-03-06 16:02:07 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Normally it would be (205/2)^2
But 205/2=102.5^2=10,506.25 ans.
Unless you're looking for awhole number, then:
103*102=10,506 ans.

Numbers_Word_Problems/277437: The first of three numbers exceeds twice the second number by 4, while the third number is twice the first. If the sum of the three numbers is 54, find the numbers. Thank You 1 solutions
Answer 202008 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-03-05 08:44:37 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!x+y+z=54
x=2y+4 or 2y=x-4 or y=(x-4)/2
z=2x
x+(x-4)/2+2x=54
(2x+x-4+2*2x)/2=54
(2x+x-4+4x)/2=54
(7x-4)/2=54
7x-4=54*2
7x-4=108
7x=108+4
7x=112
x=112/7
x=16 ans.
y=(16-4)/2=12/2=6 ans.
z=2*16=32 ans.
Proof:
16+6+32=54
