Answer:

speed of westbound car= 50 miles/hour

speed of eastbound car = 50 + 4 = 54 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of westbound car = x

According to given scenario, speed of eastbound car will be = x + 4

Now

Distance given = 208 miles

Total time = 2 hours

As both cars pass each other so by using the formula beloe:

Speed of both cars = Distance / Time

x +  (x + 4) = 208 / 2

2x +4 = 104

Subtracting 4 from both sides

2x = 104 - 4

2x = 100

Dividing both sides by 2

x (speed of westbound car)= 50 miles/hour

x + 4 (speed of eastbound car) = 50 + 4 = 54 miles/hour

i hope it will help you!

Write the equation that is the translation of y=|x| right 7 units and down 9 units.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

y=|x-7|-9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is  y=|x|.

When this function is translated to the right 7 units and down 9 units, then the equation becomes

y=|x-7|-9.

Always remember that; y=|x-c|-k is a transformation that translates the graph of y=|x| c units to the right and k units down.

The correct choice is the first option.

What is the x in 120(2x-2)=240
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

120(2x−2)=240

(120)(2x)+(120)(−2)=240(Distribute)

240x+−240=240

240x−240=240

Step 2: Add 240 to both sides.

240x−240+240=240+240

240x=480

Step 3: Divide both sides by 240.

240x /240 = 480 /240

x=2
