<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)

A school has two computer labs Each lap has 30 computers a total of six computers in the school or not working which expression
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A school has two computer labs and each lan has 30 computers. This means that the total number of computers is the sum of the number of computers in each lab

Total number of computers = 30+30 = 60

A total of six computers in the school or not working.

The expression that can be used to find the number of working computers in the school will be

Let the number of computers that are working be x

the number of computers that are working is total number of computers minus the number of computers that are not working be

The expression that can be used to find the number of working computers in the school will be

x = 60 - 6

x = 54
