we know that

speed=distance/time

It takes 40 min for a bus to cover 36 miles

then

speed of the bus=distance/time--------> 36/40-------> 0.9 miles/min

speed of the car=1.4*speed of the bus-----> 1.4*0.9----> 1.26 miles/min

For time=t

bus

t=distance/speed--------> t=x/0.9------> equation 1

car

t=distance/speed--------> t=(36-x)/1.26-----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

x/0.9=(36-x)/1.26-----> 1.26x=0.9*(36-x)-----> 1.26x=32.4-0.9x

1.26x+0.9x=32.4------> x=32.4/2.16-------> x=15 miles

equation 1

t=x/0.9------> 15/0.9------> t=16.67 min

the answer is

they will meet at the time 16.67 minutes

Susan Marciano invested part of her $37,000 bonus in a fund that paid a 12% profit and invested the rest in stock that suffered
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The amount invested in funds that earned 12% profit is 31000

The amount invested in stock that suffered 5% loss is 6,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount invested in funds that earned 12%.

Then the amount invested in stock that suffered 5% loss is 37000 - x.

The profit from investment in funds is = 12% of x

                                                               = 0.12·x

The loss from investment in stock is = 5% of (37000 - x)

                                                            = 0.05 × (37000 - x)

The net profit is 0.12·x - 0.05 × (37000 - x)

As the net profit given in the problem is $3420, we have :

0.12·x - 0.05 × (37000 - x) = 3420

Solving for x, we have :

12·x - 5 × (37000 - x) = 342000 (multiply both sides by 100)

12·x - 185000 + 5·x = 342000

17·x = 527000

⇒ x = 31000

Hence, The amount invested in funds that earned 12% profit is 31000 and the amount invested in stock that suffered 5% loss is 37000 - x = 37000 - 31000 = 6,000.

Will mark as brainliest (must show work)
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

With those problems if you are not given a picture is good we draw one.

Because an angle bisector forms 2 congruent angles and because is given that < XVY ≅ < YVW  then

m < XVY = m < YVW

      2x+7 = x+15 , subtract x and 7 from both sides to isolate the like terms

      2x-x = 15-7, combine like terms

           x = 8

From the picture and the given we see that

m < XVW = m < XVY + m < YVW

m < XVW = 2x+7 + x+15 , combine like terms

m < XVW = 3x + 22, substitute x for 8

m < XVW = 3*8 + 22

m < XVW = 46

Check our work:

m < XVY =  2x+7  = 2*8 +7 = 16 +7 = 23

m < YVW =  x+15 = 8 +15 = 23

m < XVW = m < XVY + m < YVW = 23+23 =46
