Let x and (442-x) represent the distance of the trains traveled. X/90 mph=442-x/80 mph
Cross multiply 80×x =90(442-x)
80x=90×442-90x
170x=90×442
X= 90×442/170
X=234, distance traveled by train going 90mph
234mi/90mph = 2.6 hr, time it takes for the two trains tok meet.
Checking your answer:
90×2.6+80×2.6=234mi+208mi = 442mi

Price per hour of first case :

P_1 = 24 + 9a ( Here, a is number of hours )

Price per hour of second case :

P_2 = 18 + 11b ( Here, b is number of hours )

Let, after x hours both company charges the same.

P_1=P_2\\\\24+9x = 18 + 11x\\\\2x=6\\\\x = 3\ hours

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

95 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

regular pyramid with,

Square base of side length (s) = 5 ft

Slant height (l) = 7 ft

Required:

Surface area

Solution:

Surface area of a regular pyramid = ½*P*l + B

Where,

P = perimeter of the square base = 4(s) = 4(5) = 20 ft

l = slant height = 7 ft

B = area of base = s² = 5² = 25 ft²

Surface area = ½*20*7 + 25

= 10*7 + 25

= 70 + 25

Surface area of regular pyramid = 95 ft²
