Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds

of the trains differ by 8 miles per hour. The trains will meet in 7 hours. What is the speed of the faster train?

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
714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)
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.

A driveway 18 ft wide and 36 ft. long is to be paved with concrete 3 in. thick. How many cubic yards of concrete are required?
amm1812

Answer:

6 yds^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I find these easiest if you put all of the dimensions into yards and then multiply

18 ft =  6 yds

36 ft = 12 yds

3 in = 3/36 yds    = 1/12 yds     now multiply them together

6 x 12 x 1/12 = 6 yds^3

The circle below is centered at the origin and has a radius of 4. What is its equation?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

C) x^2 + y^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Find the equation </u></h2>

since the radius is  4 this means that anywhere from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle is 4. hence :

place the horizontal line of the radius where y = 0 .

this means that if y = 0 , then x = 4

therefore :

x^2 + y^2

4^2 + 0^2

= 16

<h3><u>hence the answer is C ) x^2 + y^2 = 16</u></h3>

A number line going from negative 3 to positive 5. a closed circle is at negative 1.5. everything to the left of the circle is s
algol13

The inequalities which matches the graph are: x ≥ ₋1.5 and ₋1.5 ≤ x

Given, a number line is moving from ₋3 to ₊5 .

Next a mark is made at ₋1.5 and everything to its left is shaded which means not visible.

When we mark the point and shade the left part of it then we can start applying the inequality expressions.

And from that we can match the applicable inequalities while observing the graph.

  • For the first inequality ₋1.5 ≥ x.Here,x value ranges from ₋1.5 to ₊5, hence we take this as an inequality expression.
  • Next, if we consider x ≤ ₋1.5, then here x value will range from ₋1.5 to ₋3. where the region is shaded. Hence this expression doesn't satisfy the graph.
  • the next expression is ₋1.5 ≤ x. here the value will again range in the shaded area so it is not applicable.
  • ₋1.5 ≥ x, here the values will satisfy the graph.
  • remaining inequality expressions does not support the graph.

Therefore the only inequalities the graph represents is  x ≥ ₋1.5 and ₋1.5 ≤ x
