Question 374756: Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels

Let the number of hours = X

Multiply the speed of each train by the number of hours (x) and add them together to equal the total miles:

75x + 95x = 238

Simplify:

170x = 238

Divide both sides by 170:

x = 238/170

x = 1.4 hours.

Check:

75 x 1.4 = 105 miles

95 x 1.4 = 133 miles

105 + 133 = 238 miles

It will take 1.4 hours ( 1 hour and 24 minutes).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your line has the wrong slope. Its slope is ½, but the equation tells you that the slope is ¾.

The point (0,2) is correct, but (-4,0) is incorrect. If x=-4 then y=-1, not 0.

Plot (-4,-1), then draw the line passing through (-4,-1) and (0,2).

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 70 feet and a leg of 35 feet. What is the length of the other leg? Select one:
saveliy_v [14]
H = 70ft.
P = 35ft.
B = ?

H^2 = P^2 + B^2
70×70 = (35×35) + B^2
B^2 = 4900-1225
B = √3675
B = 35√3 ft.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

12/30

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the denominator-numerator=18

And we also know that it's equal to 4/10 or 2/5.

Soooooooooooooo the most easiest is just to trial and error: 12/30

But I don't really know the more complex formula...
