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

stepan [7]

Answer: 5=log_{2}(32)5=log

2

(32)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, you have if y=b^{x}y=b

x

, then x=log_{b}(y)x=log

b

(y)

2. Keeping this on mind, you must follow the proccedure shown below:

- You have that:

2^{5}=322

5

=32

Where:

\begin{lgathered}x=5\\y=32\\b=2\end{lgathered}

x=5

y=32

b=2

- Substitute values into x=log_{b}(y)x=log

b

(y) . Then, you obtain:

5=log_{2}(32)5=log

2
