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

Answer: Ok so I may be wrong but I got 84ft

Step-by-step explanation: The bottom looks like a rectangle so it would be 4 times 12. 4 times 12 equals 48. since the height is 4 it would be 10-4 which equals 6. 6 Times 12 divided by two equals 36. 36 plus 48 is 84.

How many liters of water must Sharon add to 2 liters of a sugar and water solution that is 36% sugar to create a solution that i
Dahasolnce [82]

The amount of sugar x in the starting solution contributes to a 36% concentration, so we have

\dfrac x2=0.36\implies x=0.64

units of sugar in the solution.

Into this solution, Sharon wants to pour y liters of water to obtain a smaller concentration of sugar in the overall solution:

\dfrac{0.64}{2+y}=0.12\implies\dfrac{16}3=2+y\implies y=\dfrac{10}3\approx3.33

So Sharon needs to add \dfrac{10}3 liters of water to the solution to get the desired concentration.
