Answer:
I'm going to paint you a picture in words of what this looks like on paper. We have a train leaving from a point on your paper heading straight west. We have another train leaving from the same point on your paper heading straight east. This is the "opposite directions" that your problem gives you.
Now let's make a table:
distance = rate * time
Train 1
Train 2
We will fill in this table from the info in the problem then refer back to our drawing. It says that one train is traveling 12 mph faster than the other train. We don't know how fast "the other train" is going, so let's call that rate r. If the first train is travelin 12 mph faster, that rate is r + 12. Let's put that into the table
distance = rate * time
Train 1 r
Train 2 (r + 12)
Then it says "after 2 hours", so the time for both trains is 2 hours:
distance = rate * time
Train 1 r * 2
Train 2 (r + 12) * 2
Since distance = rate * time, the distance (or length of the arrow pointing straight west) for Train 1 is 2r. The distance (or length of the arrow pointing straight east) for Train 2 is 2(r + 12) which is 2r + 24. The distance between them (which is also the length of the whole entire arrow) is 232. Thus:
2r + 2r + 24 = 232 and
4r = 208 so
r = 52
This means that Train 1 is traveling 52 mph and Train 2 is traveling 12 miles per hour faster than that at 64 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Therefore there are 35 number of 2-point questions and 15 number of 5-point questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let the number of 2 point question is x.
ii) let the number of 5 point questions be y
iii) total number of questions is 50
iv) therefore x + y = 50
v) it is also given that 2x + 5y = 145
vi) solving for the two equations found in iv) and v). Multiplying iv) by 2 we get
2x + 2y = 100
vii) subtracting equation vi) from equation v) we get 3y = 45.
viii) Therefore y = 15.
ix) using the value in viii) and substituting in iv) we get x + 15 = 50.
Therefore x = 50 - 15 = 35
x) Therefore there are 35 number of 2-point questions and 15 number of 5-point questions.
Answer:
d=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
-4d-37=7d +18
move the terms to its correct side
-4d-7d=18+37
calculate the like terms together.
-11d=55
divide both sides by -11. both of the negavtive (-11) will cancel out and become d on the left and on the right 55 will be divided by -11 = -5. the 5 is negative because there's a negative -11 if there were a postive 11 it will be 5 instead of D=-5
Answer:
(-2,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Unless you're given the value of the variables, you can't really solve for anything. The only thing you can do is simplify.
<span>39+5h+4g-2h
The only like terms are 5h and -2h.
39 + 3h + 4g
This would be the simplified version.</span>
