99miles/ hour
take x as the speed of the westbound train.
so the distance between the train in an hour would be 2x+18. in 3 hours it would be 6x+54.
so 6x+54=540 hence 6x=540-54 and x=81. speed of eastbound train is x+18 hence it is 99.
I hv another alternative solution tell me if u want to know.

X/x+9 (original fraction)

x+1/ x+10 = 4/13

x+1=4 so x=3 and x+10=13 so again x=3

now that you have the value of x, substitute it into the original fraction to get:

A triangle has a side length of 3/4 inch and a side length of 3 inches. What could be the length, in inches, of the third side?
Inga [223]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1- If the triangle is a rigth triangle, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem. Taking the length 3 inches as the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of the triangle, you have:

 a^2=b^2+c^2
 c=√(a^2-b^2)

 b=3/4 inches
 a=3 inches

 2- When you susbtitute the values, you obtain:

 c=√(3 inches)^2-(3/4 inches)^2
 c=2.90 inches

 The answer is: 2.90 inches.
