Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
Answer:
The speed of the cars is 
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must first have the clear concept that 
or 
Our question is the speed of the cars then the variable to clear will be s.
Let's raise the equation for each car taking into account that we have the following data:
Car 1: 
, 
and 
Car 1: 
, 
and
The two cars travel the same distance so we will raise the distance formula for each car and then match them.
<em>Car 1</em>
<em>Car 2</em>
The speed of the cars is 32 km/hr
Answer:
BCD is the outer angle of triangle ABC
=> BCD = ABC + BAC
<=> 150⁰ = ABC + 118⁰
=> ABC = 150⁰ - 118⁰
<=> ABC = 32⁰
( 2a + 3 ) - ( 4a - 8 ) = 7
2a + 3 - 4a + 8 = 7
-2a + 11 = 7
-2a = -4
a = -4 / -2
a = 2
