Step-by-step explanation:

$= \frac{2 \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} }$

$= \frac{2 \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} }$

$= \frac{ 2( \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} )( \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} )}{ { \sqrt{2} }^{2} - { \sqrt{3} }^{2} }$

$= \frac{2(2 - \sqrt{6} - \sqrt{6} - 3) }{2 - 3}$

$= \frac{2( - 1 - 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}$

$= \frac{ - 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}$

$= 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )$

$= 2 + 4 \sqrt{6}$

An express train travels 80km/h from Ironton to Wildwood. A local train, traveling at 48km/h, takes 2 hours longer for the same

masha68 [24]

Answer:

They are 240 kilometers apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using the following relation:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

In which v is the velocity, d is the distance and t is the time.

An express train travels 80km/h from Ironton to Wildwood.

Here we have $v = 80, t = x$ . So

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

$80 = \frac{d}{x}$

$d = 80x$

A local train, traveling at 48km/h, takes 2 hours longer for the same trip.

This means that when $v = 48, t = x + 2[tex]. So[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}$

$48 = \frac{d}{x+2}$

Since $d = 80x$

$48 = \frac{80x}{x+2}$

Applying cross multiplication

$80x = 48(x + 2)$

$80x = 48x + 96$

$32x = 96$

$x = \frac{96}{32}$

$x = 3$

So the distance is:

$d = 80x = 80*3 = 240$

They are 240 kilometers apart.
