Lets denote position M as our 0 point. Thus point N is at 380 mi

Let m = speed of train starting from point M. Let xm be distance train has traveled.

Let n = speed of train starting from point N. Let xn be distance train has traveled.

 

Since speed = distance/time we have

xm = 0+m*t (remember we are taking point M as 0 point)

xn = 380-n*t (point N is at 380

 

We are given speed of train starting at point N was 5 mph faster than one starting at point M. Thus

n = m+5

 

We are told after t = 2 hrs that the distance between the trains was 30 mi. Thus

|xm-xn| = |(0+m*t)-(380-n*t)| = |m*t-380+n*t| = |m*t-380+(m+5)*t| = |2m*t+5t-380|

Plug in t = 2

|2m*2+5*2-380| = |4m+10-380|=|40-370| = 30

 

So we have two equations

4m-370 = 30 which means m = 400/4 = 100 mph

or

-(4m-370) = 30 which means 4m-370 = -30 which means m = 340/4 = 85 mph

 

From this n = 105 mph or n = 90 mph

 

Option 1:

If m = 100 mph then xm = 100*2 = 200 miles

This means n = 105 mph and xn = 380-105*2 = 170 miles

I think we can discard this because this means the trains have passed each other. I'm thinking the problems wants before they pass each other.

 

Option 2:

If m = 85 mph then xm = 85*2 = 170 miles

This means n = 90 mph and xn = 380-90*2 = 200 miles

This is probably the likely case.

 

So your answer is the train leaving from M was at 85 mph and the train leaving from point N was at 90 mph.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,4) and (8.1)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

  • y = - 3/4x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use both points and find the slope:</u>

  • m = (1 - 4) / (8 - 4) = - 3/4

<u>Find the line, using point-slope form and point (4, 4):</u>

  • y - 4 = - 3/4(x - 4)
  • y - 4 = - 3/4x + 3
  • y = - 3/4x + 7

Assume the taxpayer does NOT wish to contribute to the Presidential Election Fund, unless otherwise stated in the problem.

 

Assume all taxpayers did NOT receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency during the year.

 

Juliette White is a head of household taxpayer with a daughter named Sabrina. They live at 1009 Olinda Terrace, Apartment 5B, Reno, NV 78887. Juliette works at a local law firm, Law Offices of Dane Gray, and attends school in the evenings at Reno Community College (RCC). She is taking some general classes and is not sure what degree she wants to pursue yet. She is taking three units this semester. Full-time status at RCC is nine units. Juliette’s mother watches Sabrina after school and in the evenings (no charge) so that Juliette can work and take classes at RCC. Social security numbers are 412-34-5670 for Juliette and 412-34-5672 for Sabrina. Their birth dates are as follows: Juliette, 10/31/1988; and Sabrina, 3/1/2013.

The Form W-2 Juliette received from the Law Offices of Dane Gray contained the following information:

 

Wages (box 1) = $ 29,502.30

Federal W/H (box 2) = $ 1,007.14

Social security wages (box 3) = $ 29,502.30

Social security W/H (box 4) = $ 1,829.14

Medicare wages (box 5) = $ 29,502.30

Medicare W/H (box 6) = $ 427.78

 

Juliette also had the following expenses:

Education expenses:  

Tuition for Reno Community College $ 775

 

Prepare Juliette’s federal tax return. Use Form 1040 and any additional appropriate schedules or forms she may need for credits. For any missing information, make reasonable assumptions. (Input all the values as positive numbers. Instructions can be found on certain cells within the forms. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Do not skip rows, while entering in Dependents section of Form 1040 PG1.)

 

Use the appropriate Tax Tables and EIC table.
