Step-by-step explanation:

1/3.x+4=x-2

multiplying 3 to both sides

x+12=3x-6

12+6=3x-x

Two trains travel at right angles to each other after leaving the same train station at the same time. Two hours later they are
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

15 miles per hour is the speed of the slower train.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the figure attached,

Let the speed of train 1 is v and train 2 is u.

Therefore, distance traveled in 2 hours by train 1 will be = 2v miles

and distance traveled by train 2 will be = 2u miles

Now we can see in the figure a right angle triangle is formed by the two trains.

AB² + BC² = AC²

(2v)² + (2u)²= (65.30)²

4v² + 4u² = 4264.09

Now we divide this equation by 4

v² + u² = 1066.02

If speed of the slower train is v miles per hour then as per statement of the question.

u = v - 14

v = u + 14

By putting the value of v in the equation

(u + 14)² + u² = 1066

u² + 196 + 28u + u² = 1066

2u² + 28u + 196 = 1066

2u² + 28u + 196 - 1066 = 0

2u² + 28u - 870 = 0

By diving this equation by 2

u² + 14u - 435 = 0

u² + 29u - 15u - 435 = 0

u(u + 29) - 15(u + 29) = 0

(u + 29)(u - 15) = 0

u = -29, 15

Since speed can not be with negative notation so u = 15 miles per hour will be the speed.

Therefore, 15 miles per hour is the speed of the slower train.

The graph of a line passes through the points (0,-2) and (6,0). what is the equation of the line?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

y = 1/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line with two points

Step1: find the slope

m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

( 0 , -2) (6 , 0)

x_1 = 0

y_1 = -2

x_2 = 6

y_2 = 0

Insert the values

m = ( 0 - (-2)/ (6 - 0)

m = ( 0 + 2)/(6 - 0)

m = 2/6

m = (2/2)/(6/2)

m = 1/3

Step 2 : substitute m into the equation of line

y = mx + c

y = intercept y

m = slope

x = intercept x

c = intercept

y = 1/3x + c

Step 3: sub any of the two points

Let's pick ( 6 ,0)

x = 6

y = 0

Insert the values into

y = 1/3x + c

0 = 1/3(6) + c

0 = 1*6/3 + c

0 = 6/3 + c

0 = 2 + c

c = 0 - 2

c = -2

Sub c = -2

y = 1/3x - 2

The equation of the line is

y = 1/3x - 2
