Ship A and Ship B leave from the same point in the ocean. Ship A travels 150 mi due west, turns 65° due north, and then travels another 100 mi. Ship B travels 150 mi due east, turns 70° due south, and then travels another 100 mi. Which ship is farther from the starting point? Explain.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

45.36 feet per second

step-by-step explanation:

tyrone travels 30 miles in 58.2 minutes.  

1 mile = 5280 feet; this means he travels

30(5280) = 158400 feet in 58.2 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds; this means he travels 158400 feet in

58.2(60) = 3492 seconds.

this gives us the unit rate of

158400/3492 = 45.36 feet per second.
