Answer:

6 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

The truck has a 2 hour head start.  It is moving at 45 km/h, so it is 90 km ahead.

If t is the time after 8 AM, then the distance between the truck and the station is:

d = 90 + 45t

The distance between the van and the station is:

d = 54t

When the distances are equal:

54t = 90 + 45t

9t = 90

t = 10

It takes 10 hours after 8 AM for the van to catch up with the truck.  So the time would be 6 PM.

The polynomial is missing the coefficient of the third and last terms.
bulgar [2K]

In order to divide polynomials using synthetic division, you must be dividing by a linear expression and the leading coefficient (first number) must be a 1. For example, you can use synthetic division to divide by x + 3 or x – 6, but you cannot use synthetic division to divide by x2 + 2 or 3x2 – x + 7. If the leading coefficient is not a 1, then you must divide by the leading coefficient to turn the leading coefficient into a 1. For example, 3x – 1 would becomex minus 1/3 and 2x + 7 would becomex plus 7/2. If synthetic division will not work, then you must use long division.

The perimeter of a square is 36 feet. If you increase the length by 3 feet and decrease the width
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

84 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the perimeter is 36 feet, and all the sides are the same length, then all the sides are 9. if we increase the length by 3 feet and decrease the width  by 2 feet then we are left with 12 * 7 = 84

Compound inequality that represents all the numbers between -4 and 6
KatRina [158]
You can write it as:
-4≥x≤6

*The '≥' and '≤' just means that it is greater than or less than but it can still be equal to the number you are comparing it to.

Hope this helps! :)
