A freight train travels at 30 mph. If the freight train is 300 miles ahead of an express train traveling at 55 mph, how long wil

l the express train take to overtake the freight train?
Which equation could be used to find the number of miles the trains will travel?

A. 30x = 55(x + 300)

B. x÷30 = (x - 300)÷55

C. x÷30 = (x + 300)÷55

Distance<-------------300--------------><-------------------x----------------->
          ⊕---------------------------------⊕--------------------------------------⊕                      Express                                  Freight                            Overtaking point
   Speed 55                              speed 30

Let x be the distance travelled by Freight until the point of overtaking
Time = Distance/Speed, then:

Time (freight) = Distance (fright)/Speed (freight) And
Time (Express) = Distance (Express)/Speed (Express).
Now plug in the relative number:

Time (freight) = x/30  and Time (express) = (x+300)/55. But note that both times are equal, then:
x/30 = (x+300)/55 OR (x÷30 = (x+300)÷55) [Answer C]
Now let's find the distance x. Cross multiplication;

55x= 30(300+x) →55x = 9,000 + 30x
55x - 30x = 9,000 → 25x = 9,000 and x = 9,000/25 = 360 miles
Time needed for Freight to travel 360 m = 360/30= 12 Hours
Time needed for Express to travel (300+360) m = 660/55= 12 Hours
As you see, it's the same time of 12 hours
Don't forget that Distance = Speed x time or time = Distance/Speed, etc.

alexgriva [62]

Answer: 3(x minus 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $42.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total amount spent on internet for 3 months = $111.75

Monthly credit received on bill = $5.50

Monthly Credit of $5.50 means $5.50 is deducted from the amount being paid on thir bill monthly.

Assume their monthly internet service fee = x

The amount paid before the credit deduction each month:

Amount paid - credit

(x - $5.50)

For 3 months :

3 × (x - $5.50) = $117.75

3(x - $5.50) = $117.75

Monthly fee paid before credit deduction:

3(x - $5.50) = $117.75

3x - $16.50 = $117.75

3x = $117.75 + $16.50

3x = $128.25

x = $128.25 / 3

x = $42.75

Find the image of NPQ under the translation of (x, y) + (x + 8, y + 1).
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Triangle KLM

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to write the coordinates of triangle NPQ

We have this as;

(-7,-6) for N

(-4,-3) for P

(-4,-6) for Q

Now, we are going to use the given translation formula;

(x + 8, y + 1)

N’ will be (-7+ 8, -6 + 1) = (1,-5)

P’ will be (-4+ 8, -3+1) = (4,-2)

Q’ will be (-4+ 8, -6+1) = (4,-5)

Now, we need to find the triangle with the exact given transformation coordinates calculated above;

We have the triangle as;

KLM

With K as (1,-5) ; L as (4,-2) and ; M as (4,-5)
