<span>Equation:
distance = distance 
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)</span>

Answer:

Option 2nd is correct

50(x-0.5) miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using distance formula:

\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{time}

As per the statement:

A train traveling 50 mph left a station 30 minutes before a second train running at 55 mph. If 55x represents the distance the faster train travels.

Second train data:

Let time taken by second train be  x hrs

Speed = 55 mph

then;

Distance = 55x miles

First train data:

Speed = 50 mph

time = x - \frac{30}{60} = x - \frac{1}{2}

then;

\text{Distance} = 50(x-\frac{1}{2}) miles

Since, the second train travels faster than first train

We have to find the distance of the slower train.

Distance of the slower train = 50(x-0.5) miles

Therefore,  the following algebraic expressions represents the distance of the slower train is,  50(x-0.5)

Help please fast the format is Y-____=_____(x - ____) and i need the actual answer

Answer:

  • y -195 = 15(x -9)
  • $60

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the equation you are given is called "point-slope" form. The "slope" in this case is the per-hour fee. The point is (9 h, $195). Point-slope form generally looks like this:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Here, you have m=15, (h, k) = (9, 195), so the equation looks like ...

  y -195 = 15(x -9)

__

The "one-time fee" is the cost when hours are zero.

  y -195 = 15(0 -9)

  y = 195 -9(15) = 60 . . . . add 195 to both sides, and evaluate

The one-time fee is $60.

Which statement correctly compares the mean number of students for the data in the plots?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

<em><u>"There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School."</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compute the mean for each.

<u>Poplar Middle School:</u>

Lets list the numbers

20,20,20,21,21,21,21,21,22,22,22,22,22,22,22,23,23,23,23,24

The average is sum of all divided by number of numbers, that will be:

435/20 = 21.75

<u>Oak Middle School:</u>

The numbers are:

20,21,21,22,22,23,23,23,23,24,24,24,25,25,26,26,27,27,28,29

The average is sum divided by number of numbers, that will be:

483/20 = 24.15

The difference in mean is:

24.15 - 21.75 = 2.4

We can say, that is about 2 more students in Oak Middle School, correct answer choice is "2nd answer choice" - <em><u>"There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School."</u></em>
