FIRST WE ...
subtract one value to the other to see how many valued we have in between
-7 - (-2) = 5
7-2=5
Both of the lines XY AND ZW have 5 units or points in between them.
Length = 5 units
They are congruent since XY = ZW in length and essentially are the same line but at different points
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Think: (distance traveled by faster car) - (distance traveled by slower car) = 35 mi.
Using the formula distance = rate times time, we get for the faster car:
(55 mph)(t)
and for the slower car we get (50 mph)(t), so that
(55 mph)(t) - (50 mph)(t) = 35 mi. This can be simplified as follows:
(5 mph)(t) = 35 mi. Dividing both sides by 5 mph, we get t = (35 mi) / (5 mph).
Then t = 7 hours. The two cars will be 35 miles apart, going in the same direction, after 7 hours.
