Answer:
3.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Ediburgh -------------------------------350 miles-------------------------London
Let the distance traveled by train from Edin to London be "x"
hence the distance traveled by train from London to Edin would be "350-x"
- The rate of Edin to London train is 60
- The rate of London to Edin train is 40
Let the time they meet be"t"
Now, we know distance formula to be D = RT
Where
D is distance
R is rate
and
T is time
<u>Train from Edin to London:</u>
x = 60t
<u>Train from London to Edin:</u>
350-x = 40t
Solving for x:
350 - 40t = x
We put this into first equation:
x = 60t
350 - 40t = 60t
350 = 100t
t = 350/100
t = 3.5
They meet after 3.5 hours
2x + 4(x - 1) = 2 + 4x
2x + 4x - 4 = 2 + 4x
6x - 4 = 2 + 4x
6x - 4x = 2 + 4
2x = 6
x = 3........there is 1 solution
25 - x = 15 - (3x + 10)
25 - x = 15 - 3x - 10
25 - x = -3x + 5
3x - x = 5 - 25
2x = - 20
x = -20/2
x = -10.....there is 1 solution
4x = 2x + 2x + 5(x - x)
4x = 4x + 5x - 5x
4x = 4x......this has infinite solutions
learn this...
if ur equation ends in a variable equaling a number, then there is one solution.
if ur equation ends in something not equal, like 2 = 4, or 4 = 6, then there is 0 solutions.
if ur equation ends in something equal to something,(the same) like 2 = 2, or 4x = 4x, then there is infinite solutions
Answer:
18/5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
let d be the mountain dist path
upward biking
x miles - 1 hr
d 45 mins
3x/4 = d
riding down
x+3 - 60 min
d. - 20
(1/3)(x+3) = d
(x+3)/3 = 3x/4
4x+12 = 9x
x = 12/5
d =( 12*3)/(4*5)= 9/5
upward+downward = 2*(9/5) = 18/5
1,800 and 60 I would believe since we're rounding
