The speed of one car is 'S'.  The speed of the other car is (S + 10).

In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels  5(S + 10) miles.

Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.

500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)

500 = 5S  +  5S + 50

500 = 10S + 50

Subtract 50 from each side:

450 = 10S

Divide each side by 10

S = <u>45</u>

S + 10 = <u>55</u>

The height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base. if the area of the triangle is 30 ft^ what is the lentgh of the base
Dmitriy789 [7]
Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus  x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12
