Answer:

They'll meet after 200 meters , if they simultaneously start running towards each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =distance travelled by dog and 200-x be the distance travelled by cat. Inorder to meet, the sum of their travelled distances shall be equal to 200 meters as they are far apart by 200 meters.

Dog: Distance =Speed x time: x=30t

Cat: Distance = 200-x

=24t

The sum of their distance travelled shall be 200 meters: 30t+ 24t= 200;54t=200;t=200/54=3.7secs

So they will meet after 3.7 seconds

To check:

Distance travelled by dog :x=30(3.7)

=111.11 meters

Distance travelled by cat: 24t=24(3.7)

=88.89 meters

Therefore since they are travelling towards each other and their distance apart is 200 meters, after 3.7 seconds they will meet because dog travelled 111.11 meters and cat travelled 88.89 meters and they covered already 200 meters as the sum of 111.11+ 88.89

=200 meters

Point-Slope Form<br> *See photo*
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation 'y = 3x + ?' intersects the point (1, -2). This means that when x = 1, y = -2 in out equation above. To solve this just plug in the x and y values to get '?'.

y = 3x + ?\\-2 = 3(1) + ?\\-5 = ?

Now that we know '?' is -5, we write it back into slope intercept form, so our final answer is y = 3x - 5

How do you solve 2.95/6 = x/50
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

x=24.583

Step-by-step explanation:

first, find a common multiple of both 50 and 6.  I used 150, I turned 2.95 into 73.75. so 73.75/150 reduced into '50s would be 24.583. or you can just say 2.95/6= 24.58/50. you can also use an online calculator if you believe that this is incorrect
