A set of equation can be set up:
a=b+15
3(a+b)=345
where a is the faster and b is the slower bus.
substitute b+15 into the second equation, so 6b+45=345, and 6b=300, therefore b=50.
we can then figure out that a=65

The faster bus can be expressed with
x+15=y
where x is the rate of the slower bus and y is the rate of the faster bus.
The buses travel for 3 hours, 345 miles apart. 
So it becomes
3y + 3x = 345
Substitute in the value for y with x+15 and you get
3(x+15) + 3x = 345
And afterwards, you just solve for x (WORK)
3x + 45 + 3x = 345 (Distribution)
6x + 45 = 345 (Combine like terms)
6x = 300 (Subtraction)
x = 50 (Division)
The rate of the slower bus is 50 mph, and plug it in for the equation for the faster bus.
x + 15 = y
(50) + 15 = y
y = 65
The rate of the faster bus if 65 mph.

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ \ 3x^2-7x+2 \ \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

There are a lot of polynomials which have 2 and 1/3 as zeroes,

I can show you one below

3(x-2)(x-\dfrac{1}{3})=(x-2)(3x-1)=3x^2-x-6x+2=3x^2-7x+2

hope this helps

The Country Buffet restaurant has tables that seat 6 people and booths that can seat 4 people. The restaurant has 38 seating uni
Alina [70]

Answer:

There are 20 booths and (38 - 20), or 18, tables

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of tables with t and the number of booths with b.

We need to find the values of t and b.

(6 people/table)(t) + (4 people/booth)b = 188           (units are "people")

t + b = 38                                                                      (units are "seating units")

Solving the second equation for t, we get 38 - b = t.

Substitute 38 - b for t in the first equation:

(6 people/table)(38 - b) + (4 people/booth)b = 188

Then solve for b:   6(38) - 6b + 4b = 188, or:

228 - 2b = 188, or 2b = 228 - 188, or 2b = 40.  Thus, b = 20   (booths)

There are 20 booths and (38 - 20), or 18, tables.
