If the distance between the two twons equals 750 km, and the cars met at some point on the road then the distance of the first car added to the distance of the second car equals 750 km, like this:

d1 + d2 = 750

Where d1 is the driven distance by the first car and d2 is the driven distance by the second car.

Distance, is the product of speed and time, then we can rewrite the above equation like this:

s1×t + s2×t = 750

S1 is the speed of the first car and s2 is the speed of the second time, t is the time. We already know that the time it took the cars to meet each other equals 5 hours, then, by replacing 5 for t into the above expression, we get:

s1×5 + s2×5 = 750

5(s1 + s2) = 750

We are also told that the speed of the first car is 12 less than the speed of the second car, this means that the speed of the first car equals the speed of the second one minus twelve. Then we can formulate the following expression for the speeds of the cars:

s1 = s2 - 12

By replacing s2 - 12 for s1 into 5(s1 + s2) = 750 we get:

5(s1 + s2) = 750

5(s2 - 12 + s2) = 750

5(s2 + s2 - 12) = 750

5(2s2 - 12) = 750

By dividing both sides by 5, we get:

(2s2 - 12) = 750/5

2s2 - 12 = 150

By adding 12 on both sides:

2s2 = 150 + 12

2s2 = 162

Finally, by dividing by 2 on both sides:

s2 = 162/2

s2 = 81

Now that we know that the speed of the second car, equals 81, we can find the speed of the first car by means of the formula s1 = s2 - 12, then we get:

s1 = s2 - 12

s1 = 81 - 12

s1 = 69

Then, the speed of the slower car equals 69 kilometers per hour

Goshia [24]

Answer:

c   3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the line is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-2--5)/(6-2)

   = (-2+5)/(6-2)

   =3/4

gary mixes a solution using two types of concentration of sale: .70 gallons of 5% and .30 gallons of 22% salt. what is the conce
wolverine [178]

Answer:

10.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is calculate the total volume of the solution when mixing them would be:

0.7 + 0.3 = 1

Now, we have that the resulting concentration (x) would be equal to the sum of the multiplications between the volumes and the concentrations to be mixed, as follows:

x * 1 = 0.7 * 0.05 + 0.3 * 0.22

x = 0.035 + 0.066

x = 0.101

That is, the concentration of the resulting mixture would be 10.1% (0.101 * 100)

  • 4/3πr³
<h3>What is the Cavalier's principle?</h3>

This principle states that if two solids are of equal altitude then the sections that the planes would make would have to be parallel and also be at the same distances from their bases which are equal such that the volumes of the solids would be equal.

Now we have to fill in the blanks with the solution.

For every corresponding pair of cross sections, the area of the cross section of a sphere with radius r is equal to the area of the cross section of a cylinder with radius r and height<u> 2r</u> minus the volume of two cones, each with a radius and height of r. A cross section of the sphere is a <u>circle</u> base of cylinder, is and a cross section of the cylinder minus the cones, taken parallel to the base of cylinder, is an <u>annulus_ </u>.The volume of the cylinder with radius r and height 2r is 2πr³, and the volume of each cone with radius r and height r is 1/3πr³. So the volume of the cylinder minus the two cones is 4/3πr³. Therefore, the volume of the sphere is by Cavalieri's principle
