Answer:

The rate of the slower car = 1.5km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two cars is 450km

Let the two cars be A and B

One car's rate is 12 kilometers per hour less than the other's

A = 12 + B

Speed = distance/time

Total distance = 45 - x + x

Let distance covered by A = x

Distance covered by B = 45 - x

For A

Speed = distance/time

A = x/3

But A = 12 + B

X = 3(12 + B) ...... (1)

For B

B = (45 - x)/3

45 - x = 3B

X = 45 - 3B ........ (2)

Equate equation 1 and 2

36 + 3B = 45 - 3B

Collect the like terms

6B = 9

B = 1.5 km/h

Therefore, the rate of the slower car is 1.5 km/ h

melamori03 [73]
Answers:
B. <span>The x-coordinate of point A is 5.
</span>E. <span>Point A is on the x-axis.
</span>
Explanation:
Any point drawn on the coordinates has the general notation of (x,y).
The given point is (5,0). This means that:
The x-coordinate of the point is 5
The y-coordinate of the point is 0

Now, let's check the place of this point.
The x-coordinate of the point is 5. This means that we will move 5 points to the right of the origin on the x-axis
The y-coordinate of the point is 0. This means that we will not move along the y-axis which means that the point stays on the x-axis.

Now, comparing the deduced results with the given choices, we will find that the correct choices are B and E

Hope this helps :)
