One train (lets call it train A) is traveling 92 mph. The other train (lets call it train B) is traveling 74 mph. 
Train A = 96 miles/hour
Train B = 74 miles/hour
To double check we can multiply both of them by 6 and then add them up.
92 x 6 = 552. 
74 x 6 = 444.
552 + 444 = 996. This is true so this means the answer is correct. 
I hope this helps you

2x-4y=8 and 7x-3y=61 solve by substitution
Ratling [72]

Answer:

(10, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by Substitution

2x − 4y = 8 and 7x − 3y = 61

Solve for x in the first equation.

x = 4 + 2y 7x − 3y = 61

Replace all occurrences of x with 4 + 2y in each e quation.

Replace all occurrences of x in 7x − 3y = 61 with 4 + 2y. 7 (4 + 2y) − 3y = 61

x = 4 + 2y

Simplify 7 (4 + 2y) − 3y.

28 + 11y = 61

x = 4 + 2y

Solve for y in the first equation.

Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation.

11y = 33

x = 4 + 2y

 Divide each term by 11 and simplify.

y = 3

x = 4 + 2y

 

Replace all occurrences of y with 3 in each equation.

Replace all occurrences of y in x = 4 + 2y with 3. x = 4 + 2 (3)

y = 3

Simplify 4 + 2 (3).

x = 10

y = 3

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.

(10, 3)

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

(10, 3)

Equation Form:

x = 10, y = 3

How do you do these 4 questions and the reasons?
Afina-wow [57]

Step-by-step explanation:

"There are several flights that have very long delays."

True.  On the boxplot, we can see several outliers greater than the maximum.

"More than 25% of flights are either exactly on time or arrive early."

False.  According to the 5 number summary, 25% of the flights are between -55 and 13.  So less than 25% of the flights are on time or early.

"About 50% of flights are delayed between 13 and 35 minutes."

False.  According to the 5 number summary, 25% of the flight times are less than 13 minutes, and 50% of the flights are less than 35 minutes.  So 25% of the flights are delayed between 13 and 35 minutes, not 50%.

"About 25% of flights are delayed by more than 78 minutes."

True.  According to the 5 number summary, 75% of the flights are delayed less than 78 minutes.  Which means 25% of the flights are delayed more than 78 minutes.
