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

Null: the mean amount of peanut butter in a jar is equal to 32 oz.
alternative: the mean amount of peanut butter in a Jar is less than 32oz.

type 1 error is is rejecting the null when it is actually true. this means that we would say that the mean amount of peanut butter is not equal to 32 when it actually is.

type 2 error is failing to reject the null when it is actually false. this means that we would say the mean amount of peanut butter is equal to 32 when in reality it is less.

Find the measure of unknown angle​
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

z = 102 degree (opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)

z + x + 34 = 180 degree 9sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180 degree)

102 + x + 34 = 180

x = 180 - 136

x = 44 degree

y + 102 + x = 180 degree (sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degree)

y + 102 + 44 = 180

y = 180 - 146

y = 34 degree

Brett painted three walls. Each wall was 9 ft tall and 12 ft long. How much wall area did he paint
julsineya [31]

Answer:

First we need to calculate the are of each wall, since we alredy knew the length (l) and the width (w) which is the height of the wall in this case:

A = wl = 9 . 12 = 108 (ft²)

We also know that he painted 3 walls, we need to multiply our first result by 3, in other words, the area of wall that Brett painted is the sum of the area of three walls: 108 . 3 = 324 (ft²)
