Step One
How far as the slower train traveled in 3 hours?

<u>Formula</u>
d = r* t
r = 24 mph
t = 3 hours
d = ??
d = 24 * 3
d = 72 miles.

Step two
Start the clock at noon when the faster train begins to move. How much time will elapse before the fast train catches the slow one?

d = 60*t  fast train
d = 24*t + 72 slow train The distances are the same so they can be equated..

Step Three
Solve the equation
60t = 24t + 72  Subtract 24t from both sides.
60t - 24t = 72
36t = 72 Divide by 48
t = 72 / 36
t = 2 hours.

How far does the fast train go in 2 hours?
d = r * t
r = 60 mph
t = 2 hours.
d = 60 * 2
d = 120 miles

How far does the slow train go in 2 hours.
r = 24 mph
t = 2 hours
d = 24 * 2
d = 48 miles

But the slow train started out 72 miles ahead of the fast train. It's distance from Boston is 48 + 72 = 120 miles.

Answer: Both trains will meet 120 miles away from Boston <<<<< Answer

What is f(–3) for f(x) = 2x2 – x + 5?<br> A) 11 <br> B) 17 <br> C) 20 <br> D) 26
nirvana33 [79]

Answer: D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = 2x² - x + 5

f(-3) = 2(-3)² - (-3) + 5

      = 2(9) + 3 + 5

      = 18 + 3 + 5

      = 26

Simplify the expression:<br><br> –3(9 − x) =
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Expand  -3(9-x): -27 + 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(9-x)

Apply the distributive law: a(b-c)=ab-ac

a = -3, b=9, c=x

=-3*9-(-3)x

Apply minus - plus rules:

-(-a)=a

= -3*9+3x

Multiply the numbers: 3 * 9 = 27

=-27+3x

Hope this helps! If so, may I get Brainliest and a Thanks?

Thank you, have a good one! =)

Which graph corresponds with the equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%20%7D%20%28x%2B1%29%5E
JulijaS [17]

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

The given equation is a Quadratic equation, so it's graph must be a parabola, and the Coefficient of x² is positive that means the parabola must have an opening upward.

And 2 is added to the ideal equation, so the parabola must have shift 2 units up from x - axis.

From the above information, we can easily conclude that the Correct representation is done in graph 4

If x=5, evaluate x^5 * x^-3
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in x to the expression.

5^5 * 5^{-3}\\

When there is the same base of exponents is being multiplied the exponents add together and the base stays the same.

So this simplifies to, 5^2.

This then solves to 25.
