Answer:

<h2>After 36 seconds.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to this problem, we have to sum each period of time for each train, and see where they use the same time. Train A will return each 12 seconds and Train B will return each 9 seconds, this means that we have to build two sequences with this increasing numbers.

A       B

12      9

24     18

36     27

48     36

As you can observe in the sequences, after 36 seconds both trains will arrive at the starting points at the same time. To reach such time equivalence, the train A has to make three laps, and train B hast to make 6 laps.

Therefore, the answer is "after 30 seconds".

QveST [7]
Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let m =  the fraction (or percentage) for increasing the numbers.
 
Increase x by 5, multiply (x+5) by (1+m), and set it qual to 36.
(x + 5)*(1 + m) = 36

Increase y by 5, multiply (y+5) by (1+m), and set it equal to 36.
(y+5)*(1+m) = 36

Therefore
(x+5)*(1+m) = (y+5)*(1+m)
x + 5 = y + 5
x = y
x - y = 0

Answer: 0.
The difference between the two numbers is zero.

Taya2010 [7]
You can use the pythagoras theorem.

20^2=5^2+x^2

x^2=400-25
x^2=375

x = 19.36

20-19.36=0.64 feet

The answer is 0.64 feet :)

Two thirds of a number reduced by 11 is equal to 4 more than the number. Find the number. n= Answer
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

-45

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x - 11 = x + 4

  • I created an inequality representing the above statement first. This makes things look less complicated than what the question is asking.

2/3x = x + 15

  • solve for x. I started by adding 11 to both sides.

-1/3x = 15

  • multiply both sides by -3

x = -45
