<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)

Write an equation parallel to the function y=2x+3 and goes through the point (1, -4)
sergey [27]

Answer:

y=2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel functions are functions with the same slopes but are in different positions on the coordinate plane (for this case it means that they have different y- intercepts)

So this means that the function will have a slope of 2

To find the equation we must plug in the value (1, -4) and find the new y-intercept(c)

(-4)= 2(1)+c

-4-2=c

-6=c

This means that the parallel function that goes through the point (1,-4) is

y=2x-6
