Terrance and jesse are training for a long distance race. terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour, and jesse traines at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes

Terrence trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour:

(6 miles)/(1/2 hours) = 6/(1/2) mph = 6*2 mph = 12 mph

Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes:

(2 miles)/(15/60 hours) = 2/(1/4) mph = 2*4 mph = 8 mph

The unit rate for Terrence is 12 mph.

The unit rate for Jesse is 8 mph.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

answer: sorry i can't you.
