Two trains leave towns 471 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels 21 miles per hour slower

than the other. If they meet in 3 hours, what is the rate of each train?.

Let the slower train's velocity be x-21

Let the faster train's velocity be x

We know that the approach speed is the sum of both speeds, so x+x -21= 2x-21.

The approach rate is given by Distance/time = 471/3 = 157mpH

x+x-21=157

2x=157+21

2x=178

x=89mph

The slower train is travelling 89-21 = 68mph

The faster train is travelling 89mph.

Which equation best represents the relationship between x and y in the graph
iogann1982 [59]

The equation of the line is  y= 3 - 2x.

<h3>What is equation?</h3>

An equation is a mathematical expression that contains an equals symbol. Equations often contain algebra.

Given:

Coordinates (0, 3) and (2, -1)

So,

slope = -4/2=-2

and equation of line is

(y- y1) = m (x- x1)

y-3 = (-2)(x-0)

y-3 = -2x

y= 3 - 2x

Hence, the equation of line is y= 3 - 2x.

The probability is the probality of being designated a a management trainee (i.e. 30%)  * the probability of not be appointed to a management posittion (i.e. 25%, which comes from 20% to be assigned to nonmanagerial position + 5% of being fired).

Result: 30% * 25% = 7.5%.

Answer: 7.5%.

How to solve this pythagoras theorem
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the longest side thus is (4x + 1)

The legs are 2x and (4x - 1)

Using Pythagoras' theorem, then

(4x + 1)² = (2x)² + (4x - 1)² ← expanding factors

16x² + 8x + 1 = 4x²  + 16x² - 8x + 1 , that is

16x² + 8x + 1 = 20x² - 8x + 1 ( subtract 20x² - 8x + 1 from both sides )

- 4x² + 16x = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

4x² - 16x = 0 ← factor out 4x from each term

4x(x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Now x > 0, thus x = 4

2x = 2(4) = 8

4x - 1 = 4(4) - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Thus

perimeter = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 cm
