Let the number of hours = X
Multiply the speed of each train by the number of hours (x) and add them together to equal the total miles:
75x + 95x = 238
Simplify:
170x = 238
Divide both sides by 170:
x = 238/170
x = 1.4 hours.
Check:
75 x 1.4 = 105 miles
95 x 1.4 = 133 miles
105 + 133 = 238 miles
It will take 1.4 hours ( 1 hour and 24 minutes).
Explanation
Problem #2
We must find the solution to the following system of inequalities:

(1) We solve for y the first inequality:

Now, we multiply both sides of the inequality by (-1), this changes the signs on both sides and inverts the inequality symbol:

The solution to this inequality is the set of all the points (x, y) over the line:

This line has:
• slope m = 3/2,
,
• y-intercept b = -2.
(2) We solve for y the second inequality:

The solution to this inequality is the set of all the points (x, y) below the line:

This line has:
• slope m = -1/3,
,
• y-intercept b = 2.
(3) Plotting the lines of points (1) and (2), and painting the region:
• over the line from point (1),
,
• and below the line from point (2),
we get the following graph:
Answer
The points that satisfy both inequalities are given by the intersection of the blue and red regions:
(0,0), (1,1)
Basically, any point that is shaded.
53 1/10 is the mixed number
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 2 = - 200
Bringing like terms on one side
2x = - 200 + 2 = - 198
2x = - 198
x = - 198/2 = - 99
