A train leaves Little​ Rock, Arkansas, and travels north at 85

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

we know the train traveling north is going at 85 km/h, and the one traveling south is going 70 km/h.

as they move apart, the distance between them is increased, and at some point is 465 kilometers.

let's say the one traveling north by the time the 465 kilometers are met, has been traveled "d" kilometers, then the one going south has traveled the slack from 465 and "d", namely "465 - d".

let's also keep in mind that since both trains took off at the same time, they have been traveling the same amount of hours, namely "t" hours.

\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}
&\stackrel{km s}{distance}&\stackrel{km/h}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{Northbound Train}&d&85&t\\
\textit{Southbound Train}&465-d&70&t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=85t\\
465-d=70t\\
--------\\
465-\boxed{85t}=70t
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
465=155t\implies \cfrac{465}{155}=t\implies 3=t

Solve by Elimination<br> 2x+5y=9<br> 3x-5y=11
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

x = 4 , y = ⅕

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 9 (1)

3x - 5y = 11 (2)

Add (1) and (2)

5x = 20

x = 4

Using (1), find y

2(4) + 5y = 9

5y = 1

y = ⅕

Can y’all plz help me ignore the writing part on the side of it plz show me the steps or tell me
Fiesta28 [93]
Hello.

The Manager has concluded that 2 out of 25 light bulbs are faulty.The table he created represents the ratio of bulbs checked and which ones were found faulty.
A way that he could verify that the table is correct is by simplifying each ratio. If each of them turn out to 2:25, then the conclusion is correct.

The best answer that matches this is answer choice "C.)" as it also defines our method of verifying the table's validity (just the order of the ratio is reversed, and that's fine as long as the variables are matching as well). We can further prove that this answer is correct by making ratios of our table and simplifying them;
100:8; divide both sides by 4.
25:2
500:40; divide both sides by 20.
25:2
2,000:160; divide both sides by 80.
25:2
This ratio is always the simplified answer.

Your answer is: "C.)"

I hope this helps!
