Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let +s+ = the speed of the passenger train

+s+-+20%5D+ = the speed of the freight train

Let +t+ = time in hours for both trains

-------------------------------------

Equation forpassenger train:

(1) +280+=+s%2At+

Equation for freight train:

(2) +180+=+%28+s-20+%29%2At+

------------------------

(1) +t+=+280%2Fs+

Substitute (1) into (2)

(2) +180+=+%28+s-20+%29%2A%28+280%2Fs+%29+

(2) +180s+=+280s+-+5600+

 

(2) +100s+=+5600+

(2) +s+=+56+

and

+s+-+20+=+36+

The speed of the passenger train is 56 mi/hr

The speed of the freight train is 36 mi/hr

-------------------------------------

check:

(1) +280+=+56%2At+

(1) +t+=+5+

and

(2) +180+=+%28+56-20+%29%2At+

(2) +180+=+36t+

(2) +t+=+5+

OK

The football team has a total of 50 jerseys. There are 35 ​medium-sized jerseys. What percent of the jerseys are​ medium-sized j
Mariulka [41]
Hello,

This problem can be simply solved by putting everything into fractions. Since there's a total of 50 shirts but 35 of them are medium sized then the fraction would be 35/50. You're trying to find the percentage so the 2nd fraction would be out of 100 so it would be ?/100.
35      ?
----  =  ----
50    100
Now you diagonal multiplication then downwards division.
100 x 35=3500
3500/50=70
So your answer is 70%!! :D
Hope this helps a bunch!!!

Use the variable x to write the phrase in symbols.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

155 + x^{3} + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable x would represent the number/value we don't know, and in this case, we don't know what number is raised to the third power. This being said, x would represent that number.

The question, although worded a bit confusingly, asks to add 155, the number (x) to the exponent of 3, and 14. Mathematically, this would be 155 + x^{3} + 14.
