Using the magic of algebra!:

The time each train goes in 1 hour will be represented as a / b.
b is 30 more than a, so if we add 30 to a it should equal b.
a + 30 = b
In three hours, the trains are 330 miles apart.
Esentially, we're adding up the distance each train goes from the starting point to find the distance between them.
3b + 3a = 330
Now we have a system of equations to solve.
a + 30 = b
3b + 3a = 330
We want to get the variables on seperate sides of the equation for easy solving.
a + 30 = b
3b = 330 - 3a
Then get the value of the one variable the same so we can use the transitive property.
a + 30 = b
b = 110 - a

a + 30 = 110 - a
2a + 30 = 110
2a = 80
a = 40 
mph

(And thus b = 70 mph)

Billie solved the equation below by completing the square, but she got the incorrect solution. In which step did Billie first ma
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} +10x-49=0 ---> given problem

step 1

Move the constant to the right side

x^{2} +10x=49

the step 1 is correct

step 2

Complete the square

x^{2} +10x+5^2=49+5^2

x^{2} +10x+5^2=74

<u><em>The step 2 is not correct</em></u>

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+5)^{2}=74

step 4

take square root both sides

x+5=\pm\sqrt{74}

step 5

Find the values of x

x=-5\pm\sqrt{74}

x=-5+\sqrt{74}

x=-5-\sqrt{74}
