Let's define variables:
s = original speed
s + 12 = faster speed
The time for the half of the route is:
60 / s
The time for the second half of the route is:
60 / (s + 12)
The equation for the time of the trip is:
60 / s + 60 / (s + 12) + 1/6 = 120 / s
Where,
1/6: held up for 10 minutes (in hours).
Rewriting the equation we have:
6s (60) + s (s + 12) = 60 * 6 (s + 12)
360s + s ^ 2 + 12s = 360s + 4320
s ^ 2 + 12s = 4320
s ^ 2 + 12s - 4320 = 0
We factor the equation:
(s + 72) (s-60) = 0
We take the positive root so that the problem makes physical sense.
s = 60 Km / h
Answer:
The original speed of the train before it was held up is:
s = 60 Km / h
Answer:
<em>173 children tickets were sold and 201 adult tickets were sold</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of child ticket sold be x
Let the number of adult ticket sold be y
If the total number of ticket sold is 374, hence;
x +y = 374 .... 1
Also if the ticket cost 3$ per child and 5$ per adult with total cost of $1524, this can be expressed as;
3x + 5y = 1524..... 2
Solve both equations simultaneously
From 1; x = 374 - y ...3
Substitute equation 3 into 2
3(374-y)+5y = 1524
1122-3y+5y = 1524
1122+2y = 1524
2y = 1524 - 1122
2y = 402
y = 402/2
y = 201
Since x = 374-7
x = 374 - 201
x = 173
<em>Hence 173 children tickets were sold and 201 adult tickets were sold</em>

Bill tells Matt that he has 3 kids. This means that in this item, we have three unknowns, those are the ages of the three kids. First, the product of the ages is 72.
(x)(y)(z) = 72
Also, for the sum of their ages, we have
x + y + z =?
There are three variables in the equation which means that 3 equations should also be presented to determine the ages of the three children.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the expression
Cancel the common factor of 3
Evaluate the exponent
I hope this helped can I get brainliest please.....
X + x + 2 + x + 4 = -213
3x + 6 = -213
3x = -219
x = -73
-73 + 2 = -71
-73 + 4 = -69
Solution: -73, -71, -69
