- Mountain climbing
Ken and his brother decided to go on mountain climbing 8 miles from their house to Mt. Daraitan at a rate of x mph (miles per hour). For the return trip, it was 2 mph faster. It took them 6 hours for the entire round trip. What is the x? - Arithmetic mean - parabola
Find the value of k so that k² + 2k – 3 is the arithmetic mean between k² + 4k + 5 and k² – 6k + 10. - Sequences AP + GP
The three numbers that make up the arithmetic sequence have the sum of 30. If we subtract from the first 5, the second 4, and keep the third, we get the geometric series. Find AP and GP members. - Geometric progressiob
If the sum of four consecutive terms of a geometric progression is 80 and the arithmetic mean of the second and fourth terms is 30, then find terms.
- Big family
A certain number of people met at the family celebration - their average age was three times the number present. Then came my grandfather, who was 75 years old, and the average age was again three times the number present. How many people are celebrating - Two cyclists 2
At the same time, two cyclists left towns A and B at constant speeds. The first one goes from town A to town B, and the second one from town B to town A. At one point during the trip, they met. After they met, the first cyclist arrived at town B in 36min, - Express train
An international express train drove from Kosice to Teplice. In the first 279 km, the track was repaired; therefore, it was moving at a speed of 10km/h less than it was scheduled to drive. The rest of the 465 km trip has increased the speed by 8 km/h to t - Young mathematician
One young mathematician was bored again. He found that the average age of people in the room where the seminar equals its count. Then his 29-year-old brother entered the room. Even then, the average age of all present was the same as the count of people. - Flying
The airplane from Prague to Bratislava was flying at a speed of 60 km/h less and back by 70 km/h greater than the original speed. What was the original speed if the plane returned to Prague according to the timetable?
- Average age
The average age of all people at the celebration was equal to the number of people present. After the departure of one person who was 29 years old, the average age was again equal to the number present. How many people were original to celebrate? - Work together
Michal and Dorota would do the work together in 2.25 hours. If Dorota had to do it herself, it would have taken her 6 hours longer than Michal. Determine when Dorota would do the work herself and that Michal would do it himself. - Four-thirds 3852
Anton said: I have a natural number x. I'll get three times as much if I increase it to four-thirds. What number did Anton mean? - Pool
If water flows into the pool by two inlets, fill the whole for 20 hours. The first inlet filled the pool 8 hour longer than the second. How long does the pool take to fill with two inlets separately?
