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}

Anyone know what the answer is for this
Anika [276]

Answer:

x^9

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have x^2 * x^3 we have (x * x) * (x * x * x) = x * x * x * x * x = x^5 which demonstrates that x^a * x^b = x^(a+b), 4 + 5 = 9

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

.05x + 30 < 60

Step-by-step explanation:

.05x + 30 < 60

.05 is the cost per text. Since we don't know how many text messages she sends, we have to use x to represent it. We know she pays $30 every month no matter what so, we can write .05x + 30. < means it has to be LESS than $60 NOT EQUAL TO, but less than.

I hope this helps you out!
