55mph.
you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time
your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours.
your equation would look like this
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.
The answers are as follows.
a. 9x
In order to get this, you need to reevaluate 64 as a base of 4. Since 64 is equal to 4^3, we can rewrite the right side as
64^3x = (4^3)^3x = 4^9x
Which gives you the first answer.
b. 10
Similar to the first problem, we need to express 16 as a base of 2. 2^4 is equal to 16, so we use that in it's place and simplify.
16^5/2 = (2^4)^5/2 = 2^20/2 = 2^10
c. Sqrt(7.31)
This one is more simple. Raising something to a 1/2 power (.5) is the same as taking the square root.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
11
Discussion:
Let "n" be the smaller number. Then
n * (n+5) = 176.
My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's 176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:
n(n+5) = 176 =>
n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0 => use the quadratic formula
n = ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) ) /2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 + 704) )/ 2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2 => as sqrt(729) = 27
= (-5 +\- 27) / 2 =>
= (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2 =>
= 22/2 or -32/2 =>
= 11 or -16
But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.
Thank you,
MrB
