Let the slower cars speed equal X.
The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).
They traveled for 3 hours
Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.
So you have:
3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles
Simplify the left side:
3X + 3X+15 = 267
Combine like terms:
6x + 15 = 267
Subtract 15 from each side"
6x = 252
Divide each side by 6:
x = 252 / 6
X = 42
The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.
Here: Fraction = 3/5
Let, original fraction (before simplifying) = 3x/5x
Then, 3x + 5x = 40
8x = 40
x = 40/8
x = 5
So, 3x = 3(5) = 15 & 5(5) = 25
In short, Your Answer would be 15/25

Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
No matter what value of x you input into this equation, you will get a y value of 3. This means that over infinite run, the line has no rise, and therefore has slope of 0. Hope this helps!
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
x = cost of adult ticket
y = cost of student ticket
cost of adult ticket is twice the cost of a student ticket
x = 2y
number of adult tickets = 64
number of student tickets = 132
cost of all adult tickets = 64x
cost of all student tickets = 132y
cost of all adult and student tickets combined: 64x + 132y
cost of all adult and student tickets combined: 1040
This gives us the equation:
64x + 132y = 1040
b.
Use substitution to solve the system of equations. Since x = 2y, where you see x in the second equation, substitute it with 2y.
64(2y) + 132y = 1040
128y + 132y = 1040
260y = 1040
y = 1040/260
y = 4
x = 2y = 2(4) = 8
adult ticket: $8
student ticket: $4
