Two trains leave stations 252 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 80 miles per hour

while the other travels at 100 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?

First things first, distance = speed x time
So let's have "t" represent the time by both trains.
The first train shall be Train A and the other becoming Train B, so now we have Train A going 80t miles and Train B going 100t miles.


If two trains head toward each other, they will have traveled a total of 252 miles. The faster train will have traveled further (Train B), so the meeting point will be closer to the slower train's starting point (Train A).

So now we do 80t + 100t = 252
Which becomes 180t = 252
And by diving 252 by 180, you'll get that t is 1.4
This would mean they would meet at one hour and 24 minutes.

Victoria has $2.90 in quarters, dimes and nickels. The numbers of nickels is one more than six times the number of quarters, and
maria [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 290 cents.

Nickels: 6x+1

Quarters: x

Dimes: 4x

Now that we've converted it algebraically, we can add them

6x+1 + x + 4x = 11x+1 = 290

11x = 289

x = 289/11

let me know if incorrect, i will fix

The length of the side sqaure A is 50% OF THE LENGTH OF THE SIDE SQUARE b
UNO [17]

Let's say the side length of square A is x, which means the side length of square B is 2x.

Then, the area of square A can be written as , and the area of square B can be written as .

There's no diagram here with shaded region, so I'll just find the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B:

= 1/4 = 25%

So, the answer is 25% (note this is the answer to the question: "express the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B; there is no diagram showing me where the shaded area is, so I cannot answer the original question

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (6, 2) and a directrix of y = 1
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

eq. of directrix is y-1=0

let (x,y) be any point the parabola.

then\sqrt{ (x-6)^2+(y-2)^2}=\frac{y-1}{(-1)*2}

squaring

x²-12x+36+y²-4y+4=y²-2y+1

x²-12 x+40-1=4y-2y

2y=x²-12x+39=x²-12x+36+3

(x-6)²=2y-3

Complete the equation of the line through (-9,-9)(−9,−9)left parenthesis, minus, 9, comma, minus, 9, right parenthesis and (-6,0
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line is;

y = 3x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the equation of the line through (-9,-9) and (-6,0)

we start by calculating the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (0+ 9)/(-6+9) = 9/3 = 3

The general equation of the line is;

y = mx + c

y = 3x + c

To get c, we use any of the points

we substitute for example -6 for x and 0 for y

0 = 3(-6) + c

c = 0 + 18 = 18

So the equation of the line is;

y = 3x + 18
