Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 15 /kmh faster than the other. If

the two buses are 366km apart after 2 hours, what is the rate of each bus? Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier.

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.

Suppose line segment AB has one endpoint at A(0, 0). What are the coordinates of B if (5, 3) is 1/3 of the way from A to B?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

B(x_2,y_2)= (20,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = (0,0)

Ratio; m : n = 1 : 3

Point\ at\ 1 : 3 = (5,3)

Required

Coordinates of B

This question will be answered using line ratio formula;

(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})

In this case:

(x,y) = (5,3)

(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)

m : n = 1 : 3

Solving for (x_2,y_2)

(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n}) becomes

(5,3) =  (\frac{1 * x_2 + 3 * 0}{1 + 3},\frac{1 * y_2 + 3 * 0}{1 + 3})

(5,3) =  (\frac{x_2 + 0}{4},\frac{y_2 + 0}{4})

(5,3) =  (\frac{x_2}{4},\frac{y_2}{4})

Comparing the right hand side to the left;

\frac{x_2}{4} = 5 -- (1)

\frac{y_2}{4} = 3 -- (2)

Solving (1)

x_2 = 5 * 4

x_2 = 20

Solving (2)

y_2 = 3 * 4

y_2 = 12

Hence;

B(x_2,y_2)= (20,12)

What is the solution to the system of equations <br><br> 3x+2y=39<br> 5x-y=13
Marta_Voda [28]

3x + 2y = 39

5x - y = 13

Multiplying the last by two:

10x - 2y = 26

Adding to the first

13x = 65

x = 5

y = 5x-13 =25-13=12


Check:

3(5)+2(12)=39 good

5(5)-12=13 good


Answer: x=5, y=12

Evaluate log25+log8 _log2​
Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

log 25 + log 8 = log (25 × 8) = log 200

log 200 - log 2 = log (200 ÷ 2) = log 100

logarithm base 10 of 100 is 2.
