recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.


let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.


they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.


When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{Train A}&d&85&t\\ \textit{Train B}&210-d&65&t \end{array}\\\\ \dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=85t\\ 210-d=65t\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 210-\boxed{85t}=65t \end{cases} \\\\\\ 210=150t\implies \cfrac{210}{150}=t\implies \cfrac{7}{5}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{one hour and 24 minutes}}{1\frac{2}{5}=t}

Find from u.<br><br> -12u = -24
Bingel [31]
Well, to find u, we have to remove all that is attached to it so the equation can just be u=...
   To find u, you have to remove what is attached to it, and that is -12. Then you have to look at the relationship between the -12 and u. The relationship is multiplication, and the opposite of multiplication is division, so all you have to do is divide both sides by -12. So;
-12u/-12=-24/-12
   The -12 cancels the -12, leaving u and the - in 12 cancels the - in 24. Leaving 24/12. And that is 2. Written as;
u=2
   Hope i helped. If you have any more problems, let me know.

A cone has a volume of 1,256 cubic centimeters. If the height of the cone is 12 centimeters, what is the radius of the base in c
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The radius 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The volume of the cone = 1/3 πr²h

∵ v = 1256 cm³

∵ h = 12 cm

∴ 1256 = 1/3 π (12) r²

∴ r² = 1256 × 3/12π = 100 cm

∴ r = √100 = 10 cm
