Since the buses travel in opposite directions, the speed at which they distance themselves is the sum of their speeds.
One bus travels at speed s.
The other bus travels at speed s + 15.
The sum of the speeds is s + s + 15 = 2s + 15

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

366 = (2s + 15) * 2

183 = 2s + 15

168 = 2s

s = 84

The slower bus travels at 84 km/h.

s + 15 = 84 + 15 = 99

The faster bus travels at 99 km/h.

Check:
In 2 hours, the slower bus travels 2 * 84 km = 168 km
In 2 hours, the faster bus travels 2 * 99 km = 198 km
In 2 hours, the buses are 198 km + 168 km = 366 km apart.
Our answer is correct.

2.8 = 2y<br> What does y equal?<br> 1.4<br> 0.5<br> 2.8<br> 0.6
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 1.4

Step-by-step explanation: First, swap the sides of the equation so that the one with the variable can be in front.

So, its 2y=2.8

To solve this, you simply divide both sides of the equation by 2.

2 divided by 2 is 0. That leaves you with the y by itself. Then, 2.8 divided by 2 is 1.4

So, y=1.4

sammy [17]

Answer:

$1,391.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Noon would be 12:00 PM which would be 4 hours ahead of 8:00 AM

We subtract $8,821 by $3,256 to get the amount earned between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM

$8,821 - $3,256

= $5,565

The find the average taken in within those 4 hours we will have to divide the money earned by the hours

$5,565/4

= $1,391.25
