Answer:

The second city is 54 miles behind the first city

Step-by-step explanation:

The first bus is assumed to go ahead of the second bus and is moving at 54 mph. The second bus is moving at a speed such as 54 mph is 60% (0.6) of its speed.  

The speed of the second bus is then 54/0.6 = 90 mph

When 1 and a half hour has passed, the first bus has moved a distance of

X_1=54\times 1.5 = 81 miles

The second bus (behind the first bus) has moved

X_2=90\times 1.5 = 135 miles

The problem states they both meet in that time, it can only be possible if the second bus departed a distance 135 - 81 = 54 miles behind the first city

So, the second city is 54 miles behind the first city

Two posts that hold up a sign are parallel. M < 1 = 75° use the given measurements to find the value of x. I think it’s 19 bu
polet [3.4K]

The two posts are parallel lines. The ground is a transversal.

The angles measuring 4x and 75 are same side interior angles, so they are supplementary. Their measures add up to 180.

4x + 75 = 180

4x = 105

x = 26.25

What is the Compound interest on a 10,000 investment the earns 6% compound monthlyfor5 years
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The total compound interest is $3,488.50, I hope I helped explain how to find total compound interest

Step-by-step explanation:

So the formula for this would be:

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = the amount of your principal plus interest, which is the total

P = stands for the principal, which is your original amount invested

r = shows the interest rate in decimal form

n =  stands for the number of compounding periods

So to solve for the compound interest we would plug in our numbers in replacement for the letters
