Let the speed of second train = x mph

Speed of first train = (x+9.2) mph

The sum of the speeds is 720.8 mph

x + (x + 9.2) = 720.8 \\ \\ 2x + 9.2 = 720.8 \\ \\ 2x = 720.8 - 9.2 \\ \\ 2x = 711.6 \\ \\ x = \frac{711.6}{2} \\ \\ \underline{x = 355.8 \: mph}

\underline{x + 9.2 = 355.8 + 9.2 = 365 \: mph}

\textbf{\red{Speed of first train = 365 mph}} \\ \\ \textbf{\red{Speed of second train = 355.8 mph}}

Sum and difference problem.

Speed of faster train = (Sum+difference)/2=(720.8+9.2)/2=365 mph

Speed of slower train = (Sum-difference)/2=(720.8-9.2)/2=355.8 mph

PLZZZ HELP will mark brainliest!
erica [24]

Answer:

(3,8): No,  (-1,-11): Yes,  (2,7): Yes,  (0,-6): No

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, you just substitute x and y with the numbers given.

18x - 3y = 15

y = 6x - 5

(3,8):

18(3) - 3(8) = 15

54 - 24 = 30  It is not equal to 15, so it does not work.

y = 6x - 5

8 = 6(3) - 5

8 = 13  It is not equal to 8, so it does not work.

Therefore, (3,8) is not a solution.

Try this for every pair and you will find that (-1,-11) and (2,7) are solutions.

I hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP !!!
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

final cost of 3 pounds: <u>  8 dollars  </u>

final cost of p pounds: <u>   3.75p - 3.25  dollars  </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pound costs $3.75, so 3 pounds cost 3*3.75 = 11.25 dollars. Subtract off the $3.25 to get the final cost to be 11.25-3.25 = 8 dollars. This takes care of the first part.

For the second part, the expression for the final cost is 3.75p - 3.25; where the 3.75p is the cost before the coupon is applied. If you plugged p = 3 into that expression, you should get 8 as a result. The variable p is some positive whole number. It's a place holder for the number of pounds of apples.
