Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds
1 answer:
55mph.
you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time
your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours.
your equation would look like this
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This expression was kind of trial and error for me seeing as I'm not really good at logic, but this is pretty basic. There are three possible places the parentheses can be placed (assuming each pair holds 2 terms);
The answer to the first expression would be 45, which is not equal to 11.
The answer to the second expression would be 15, which is also not equal to 11.
The answer to the last expression is 11, so that is the correct answer.
Hope this helped :D
