1 answer:

7 0

After the Great Depression and the end of the war era, many Americans were wanting to settle down into a family life and experience “The American Dream” of owning a home with land and having more children. This led to flocks of people, especially war veterans getting government assistance, buying land outside of urban cities and the creation of the suburb area.

The creation of automobiles by big companies such as Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors along with the creation of the International Highway System allowed for this transition to happen successfully on a mass scale. People were now able to own private transportation, and travel to and from work and commercial stores in major cities, leaving the often overcrowded and tarnished cities and apartment building living to poor immigrant and African American majorities.

A minivan and an SUV are traveling at the same speed. The minivan drives 4 hours. The SUV drives another half hour and goes 35 m

Kipish [7]

Answer:

x/2 = 35 and the answer to this equation would be 70 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Let's call x the speed (per hour) of the cars.

We know that the SUV goes 35 miles in half an hour. So, the speed per hour divided by two would be 35 miles. (since half an hour is one hour divided by two).

We can write this as:

$\frac{x}{2} = 35\\x= 35(2)\\x= 70$
