Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 14 miles faster than the other. If
valkas [14]

If the two buses are 640 miles apart after 5 hours. Then the rate of each bus will be 57 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions.

One bus travels 14 miles faster than the other.

Let x be the speed of first bus. Then the speed of the second bus will be (x + 14).

If the two buses are 640 miles apart after 5 hours.

Then the rate of each bus will be

Then the relative speed of the buses will be

S = x + x + 14

S = 2x + 14

Then the value of x will be

2x + 14 = 640 / 5

2x + 14 = 128

      2x = 114

        x = 57 miles per hour

Then the speed of the other bus will be

⇒ 57 + 14

⇒ 71 miles per hour

More about the speed link is given below.

As pointed out, you lose if the pile has 1, 6, 11 or 16 sticks. How many sticks are needed in the next two piles for you to lose
muminat

Answer:

21 and 26 totaling 47sticks

Step-by-step explanation:

Th number of sticks form an arithmetic progression

1, 6, 11, 16...

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as;

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a is the first term = 1

d is the common difference

d = 6-1 = 11-6 = 5

n is the number of terms

The next two terms are the fifth and sixth term

T5 = 1+(5-1)5

T5 = 1+4(5)

T5 = 1+20

T5 = 21

T6 = 1+(6-1)5

T6 = 1+5(5)

T6 = 1+25

T6 = 26

Hence the number of sticks needed in the next two piles are 21 and 26 totaling 47sticks

1/2 (4-k)=2/5 <br>Distribute and find LCM
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

  • 20 -5k = 4
  • the LCM of the denominators is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to do the problem in the reverse order: find the LCM, then distribute. That way, I'm not distributing a fraction.

The LCM of 2 and 5 is their product: 2·5 = 10. Multiplying the equation by 10 gives ...

  5(4 -k) = 4

Now, distributing, we get ...

  20 -5k = 4

Which equation represents the graphed function? ​
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

\frac{3}{2} x - 3 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is the third equation.

This is because the y-intercept is -3 and the x-intercept is at (2,0) (you can find the x-intercept by making "y" = 0). The only equation that has both of these is the third one.
