Let

x--------> the time in hours

y-------> the distance in miles

we know that

The speed is equal to

Speed=\frac{distance}{time}

in this problem

Speed=\frac{y}{x}

y=(Speed)*x

<u>Equation First Train</u>

y1=70x

<u>Equation Second Train</u>

y2=80x

y1+y2=600\ miles ---------> equation 1

Substitute the values of y1 and y2 in the equation 1

70x+80x=600

Solve for x

150x=600

x=4\ hours

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

4\ hours

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find k when y=kx

2y = 20x

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 =20x/2

y = 10x

The constant of proportionality is 10

I am thinking of three numbers. The second number is 5 times the first. The third number is
Fed [463]

Answer:

3, 15, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x + ( 5x -1) = 32

11x - 1 = 32

11x = 32 + 1

11x = 33

11x/11 = 33/11

x = 3

therefore

the first number is 3

the second is 5 × 3 = 15

the third number is 15 - 1 = 14

How do you solve (Arc)QPT if &lt;QZT = 120
yuradex [85]
By definition, the arc length is given by:
 arc = R * theta * ((2 * pi) / 360)
 Where,
 theta: angle in degrees
 R: radio
 We have then:
 (Arc) QPT if <QZT = 120:
 theta = 360-120 = 240 degrees
 R = 13.5 units
 Substituting values we have:
 (Arc) QPT = R * theta * ((2 * pi) / 360)
 (Arc) QPT = (13.5) * (240) * ((2 * pi) / 360)
 (Arc) QPT = 56.55 units
 Answer:
 
(Arc) QPT = 56.55 units

Is y=3x+4 parallel or perpendicular
Sauron [17]

Answer: y=3x+4 is parallel to y=3x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Is y=3x+4 parallel, perpendicular or neither to y=3x+7?"</h3><h3 />

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

First, in order to solve this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition:

1. The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

2. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal.

In this case, you have the following line given in the exercise:

 y=3x+4

You can identify that "m" and "b" are:

m=3\\b=4

And the other line provided in the exercise is this one:

y=3x+7

So, you can identify that:

m=3\\b=7

As you can notice, the slopes of both lines are equal; therefore, you can conclude that those lines are parallel.
