\bf \begin{array}{ccccllll}
&distance&rate(mph)&time(hrs)\\\\
&-----&-----&-------\\\\
\textit{first train}&d&80&t\\
\textit{second train}&238-d&90&t
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus
\\\\

\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=(80)(t)\\\\
238-\boxed{d}=(90)(t)
\end{cases}

see the substitution?  so.. do the substitution on the 2nd equation, and solve for "t"

bear in mind that, when the trains meet, over the same road, they have been traveling the same distance, one is faster than the other, so the distances differ, but the time does  not, is the same for both,

if the first train has been running 45mins and met the second train,
then the second train has also been running for 45mins,
thus "t" is the same for both

Deon bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $250 less than the desktop. He pai
zysi [14]

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of desktop computer; then x - 250 = cost of laptop computer

converting % to decimals, 9% = 0.09 and 6% = 0.06

Then, 0.09x + (x - 250)0.06 = $300

0.09x + 0.06x - 15 = $300

0.15x = $315

x = $2100

then x - 250 = $1850

Proof: $2100•0.09 + 1850•0.06 = $189 + $111 = $300

The following is a linear programming formulation of a labor planning problem. There are four overlapping shifts, and management
dexar [7]

Answer:

d. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting the values in the shift 2 function

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

where x1=  13, and x2=2

13+12≥ 15

15≥ 15

At least 15 workers must be assigned to the shift 2.

The LP model questions require that the constraints are satisfied.

The constraint for the shift 2 is that the  number of workers must be equal or greater than 15

This can be solved using other constraint functions e.g

Putting  X4= 0 in

X1 + X4 ≥ 12

gives

X1 ≥ 12

Now Putting the value X1 ≥ 12  in shift 2 constraint

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

12+ 2≥ 15

14 ≥ 15

this does not satisfy the condition so this is wrong.

Now from

X2 + X3 ≥ 16

Putting X3= 14

X2 + 14 ≥ 16

gives

X2  ≥ 2

Putting these in the shift 2

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

13+2 ≥ 15

15 ≥ 15

Which gives the same result as above.
