Acar travels 312 miles in the same time that a motorcycle traveled 272. if the cars speed is 10mph more than the motorcycles, find the speed of the car and the speed of the motorcycle.

speed of the car is 88 miles per hour

the speed of the motorcycle is 78 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of miles travelled by car = 312

Number of miles travelled by motorcycle = 272

Let x = speed of the car

Let y = speed of the motorcycle

If the car's speed is 10mph more than the motorcycle's, it means

x = y + 10 - - -- - - 1

Time taken for car to travel 312 miles is distance /speed = 312/x

Time taken for motorcycle to travel 272 miles is distance /speed = 272/y

The car travels 312 miles in the same time that a motorcycle traveled 272.

This means

312/x = 272/y

312y = 272x

y = 272x/312

Substituting y = 272x/312 into equation 1, it becomes

x = 272x/312 + 10

312x = 272x + 3120

312x-272x = 3120

40x = 3120

x = 3120/40 = 78 miles per hour

x = y + 10 = y + 78

x = 88 miles per hour

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
