If they're travelling towards each other;
Effective speed = 75+55 = 130

Distance = 338m

Time= distance/ speed
T= 338/130
T= 2.6 hrs

How do you do this problems?

rewona [7]

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It's based on similarity of triangles

DEF ~ △XYZ

$\implies \mathsf{ \frac{DE }{ XY } = \frac{EF}{YZ} = \frac{ FD}{ZX}}$

The sides should be taken in order, like the triangles start with DE and XY so, we'll proportionate DE and XY and then the next two sides and so on.

I'm using $\mathsf{ \frac{DE }{XY } = \frac{EF}{YZ} }$ to get the value of x.

[You can use any two fractions out of the three given above. ]

$\implies \mathsf{ \frac{10}{x - 1} = \frac{8}{4} }$

$\implies \mathsf{ \frac{10}{x - 1} = 2 }$

$\implies \mathsf{ 10 = 2 (x - 1) }$

$\implies \mathsf{ 10 = 2 x - 2 }$

$\implies \mathsf{ 10 + 2= 2 x }$

$\implies \mathsf{ 1 2= 2 x }$

$\implies \mathsf{ x = 6 }$

Hence, the value of x is 6.

Rich deposited money into a bank account that earned 2.5% simple interest each year. After 2 years, he had earned $14.65 in inte

photoshop1234 [79]

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=Prt$

where

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

I is the amount of money in interest

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=2\ years\\ I=\$14.65\\r=0.025$

substitute in the formula above and solve for P

$14.65=P(0.025)(2)$

$P=14.65/[(0.025)(2)]$

$P=\$293$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$\$293$
