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

Which of the following sets of inequalities​
Ludmilka [50]

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. The correct options are 2 and 3.

<h3>What are inequalities?</h3>

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. Also, it helps us to compare the non-equal expressions so that an equation can be formed. It is mostly denoted by the symbol <, >, ≤, and ≥.

The inequality for the red portion is,

slope, m = (-2/-4) = 1/2

y-intercept is 2.

y ≤ (1/2)x + 2

The inequality for the blue portion is,
slope, m = (5-0)/(3-0.5) = 2

y-intercept is -1.

y > 2x - 1

Hence, the correct options are 2 and 3.
