There should be no problem in finding the value of the unknown variable "b" in the equation given in the question.The equation is solvable for finding the value of "b" because it is the only unknown variable in the single equation that is given in the question.
45 = 3b + 69
Let us reverse both sides of the equation first. then, we get
3b + 69 = 45
3b = 45 - 69
3b = - 24
b = - (24/3)
= - 8
So from the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the value of b in the given equation is -8.

Answer:
5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the front parts of the trains meet at point A. Since both are the same length and traveling the same speed, each will pass point A in time ...
time = distance/speed
time = (1/18 mi)/(40 mi/h) = (1/720 h) × (3600 s)/(1 h) = 5 s
That is, the rear part of each train will be at point A 5 seconds after the front part.
The rear parts will pass each other 5 seconds after the front parts meet.
8 x (3^2/4^2)
=4.5
