First, let's see if we can rewrite this word problem a little bit more mathematically. We won't get to mathy or technical so no worries. We just want to look at it in a more straightforward way, if we can.
Train A's mph plus Train B's mph summed equal 723.5 mph. Train A's mph is greater than Train B's mph by 12.5 mph.
So what should we do to solve this problem? Since we are dealing with two of something and we know the value of the two combined, it might make sense to start by dividing that value by 2.
723.5 / 2 = <em /> 361.75. If the two trains were travelling at the same speed, we would be done. Unfortunately, they are not so we need to think about this some more.
Train A is going 12.5 mph faster than Train B. Let's rewrite.
Train A mph = 12.5 + 361.75 = 374.25 Okay, so Train A is travelling at a speed of 374.25 mph. So we're done right? Not exactly. We are asked to fing the speeds of BOTH trains. How do we find the speed of Train B? We have added a portion of the combined total to Train A. It seems to follow, then, we should probably subtract the same portion from Train A. What are we going to do? You guessed it! Rewrite.
Train B mph = 361.75 - 12.5 = 349.25 HA HA! We seem to have figured it out. Let's do one last thing to check our work. Let's add the two trains' speeds together. If we did this right, we should get our summed value of 723.5 mph
374.25 + 349.25 = 723.5
Pat yourself on the back! We did it!
374.25 + 349.25 =
86% bc 50 is easy to work with, you know 43 arent red, and since 43x2=86 its 86, multiply by 2 bc 50 is half of 100
for 7
Yes it is right cuz 16 is the double of 8 and even the price if doubled up so the price is right
for 8
Apply the formula
the diameter is 14
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
-ad-r=C
-------- Sorry thats the best I could do for a fraction symbol
3-b
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve for C we need to get it C on one side of the equation all by itself. To start we can subtract R from both sides and subtract bc from both sides to get both C's on one side. That gets us to
-ad-r=3c-bc
Since the side with C has a common factor, C between 3c and bc we can pull that out, and we get
-ad-r=c(3-b)
and then we just divide 3-b on both sides to get C completely by itself
-ad-r=C
--------
3-b
I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
