Two cars are traveling on two different routes, one 43 miles longer than the other. the car traveling on the longer route travels 2 miles per hour slower than the other car and it takes it 6 hours for the trip. if the car with the shorter route takes 5 hours for its trip, find the length of each route

x1 = 275 miles (shorter)

x2 = 318 miles (longer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x1 = be the shorter route

v1 = speed of the car in the shorter route

t1 = time it took to cover shorter route

x2 = the longer route

v2 = speed of the car in the longer route

t2 = time it took to cover longer route

x1 + 43 = x2   (1)

v2 = v1 -2   (2)

v2 = x2/t2 = x2/6

v1 = x1/t1 = x1/5

This means that

v2 = v1 -2   =>

x2/6 = x1/5 -2

The system of equations results

a.   x1 -x2 = -43

b.  x1/5 - x2/6 = 2

Solving this system of equations, we find that

x1 = 275 miles

x2 = 318 miles

1gm = 1000mg so 0.1gm = 1000mg

first, convert the weight to kg

160lb * 1kg/2.2lb = 72.7kg

next, the dose

72.7kg * 100mg/kg = 7270mg

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
