The distance between the trains is changing at the rate of (70 -60) = 10 mph. They will be in the same place (45 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 4.5 hours after they leave their respective cities. They will be 10 miles apart both 1 hour before that time and one hour after that time.
The trains will be 10 miles apart 3.5 hours after leaving.
They will be 10 miles apart the second time 5.5 hours after leaving.
Answer:
9.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
The question is asking us to use the model to find how long it would take for the loan amount to reach 7,000
In order to answer this, we need to make 7,000 equal to the equation:
7000=5000+5000(0.0425t)
Subtract 5000 from both sides
2000=5000(0.0425t)
Now we simplify the RHS
2000 = 212.5t
Now you divide both sides by 212.5 to get t by itself
t=9.41
So it would take 9.4 months for the loan amount to reach 7000
