two trains leave the station at the same time one heading east and the other west. the eastbound train travels 14 miles per hour
faster than the westbound train if the two trains are 320 miles apart after 2 hours what is the rate of the eastbound train
1 answer:
You should look to units of measure when setting up problems. when math is done correctly, the units cancel out just as numbers and variables do.
(miles / hr) * hr = miles
Speed = (miles / hr)
So if the Train W is traveling at x miles/hr
Then Train E is traveling (x+14) miles/hr
The combined distance they two trains travel is 320 miles
2x + 2(x+14) = 320
2x + 2x + 28 = 320
4x + 28 = 320
4x = 292
x = 292/4
x = 73 miles/hr
remember we set x as the speed for Train W
so Train E is going 73 + 14 = 87 miles/hr

Answer:the anser is 66
Step-by-step explanation:2=33
33+33=66
Essentially, we just use the pythagorean theorem to solve:
7^2 + 3^2 = c^2
49 + 9 = c^2
58 = c^2
c = sqrt 58
The answer is Option D.
Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+6=14
4x=8
x=2
4x+6=-14
4x=-20
x=-5
Final answer: x=-5, x=2
