Answer: the rate of speed for train A is 66 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of train B.
2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles per hour slower than train B. This means that the speed of train A would be x - 16 miles per hour.
The two trains are 720 miles apart after 4 hours. It means that both trains traveled a total distance of 720 miles in 4 hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled by train A after 4 hours is
4(x - 16) = 4x - 64
Distance travelled by train B after 4 hours is
4 × x = 4x
Since the total distance travelled by both trains is 720 miles, then
4x - 64 + 4x = 720
8x = 720 - 64 = 656
x = 656/8 = 82 miles per hour
The speed of train A would be
82 - 16 = 66 miles per hour.
Answer:
x > 1
Step-by-step explanation:
15 - 1 = 14
The inequality is 15 - 1 < 14, but this is incorrect. 14 can not be less than 14. In order for the left side to be less than 14, the x value (currently representing 1) should be larger than what it currently is to make the statement true.
Therefore, x>1
An ordered pair (x,y) is a solution to a system of equations if it makes all the equations true.
Let's check whether (–1, 5) makes the equations true.
Plugging –1 in the first equation for x and 5 in for y, we get
–1 + 5 = 4: TRUE
Plugging –1 in the second equation for x and 5 in for y, we get
–1 – 5 = –6: TRUE
Since it makes both the equations true, it's a solution to the system of equations. So the answer choice is D, the 4th one.
Answer:
Height of the brick portion of the wall is 5.61 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Employees of the landscaping company used brick to build the top 2/3 of the wall. The total dimensions of the wall are 8 and 1/2 * 2 and 3/4 feet. So the height of the wall = 8 and 1/2 feet or in other words 8.75 feet.
Height of the brick portion of the wall = 2/3 * 8.5 = 0.66 * 8.5 = 5.61 feet
So the height of the brick portion of the wall is 5.61 feet.
Non brick portion of the wall is 8.5 - 5.61 = 2.89
