Let H represent the number of hours that must pass before the second car catches up with the first.  This is a rate x time = distance problem.

50 m/h H = 70 m/h (H-2)

50H = 70(H-2) = 70H - 140
This is by virtue of the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

0 = 20H - 140
We subtract 50H from each side.

140 = 20H
We add 140 to each side.

7 = H
We divide each side by 20.

Seven hours is required for the two cars to encounter each other.

What’s the GCF of (45x power of 2) y, and (54xy power of 2)
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

9xy

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose you're asking for the GCF of 45x^2y and 54xy^2.

45x^2y = 3^2 \times 5 \times x^2 \times y\\54xy^2 = 2 \times 3^3 \times x \times y^2

The GCF is 3^2 \times x \times y = 9xy.

What is the length of segment AB? Coordinate grid shown from negative 8 to positive 8 on both x axis and y axis at intervals of
Brums [2.3K]
We can use the pythagorean theorm. This means that the points can form the two legs of a triangle. 

a = 6
b = 6
c = length AB

a^2+b^2 = c^2

2(6^2) = c^2
72 = c^2

c would be \sqrt{72} or 6\sqrt{2}
