A bus travels from Station A to Station B, and a truck travels from Station B to Station A on the same road. The speed of the bu

s is 54 km/h, and the speed of the truck is 48 km/h. After they pass each other, they continue drive to the destinations. Once they reach the destination, they turn around to continue travel along the same road. When they meet again, the bus travels 216 km more than the truck. What is the distance between the two stations in kilometers?

Answer:

The distance between the two train stations is 1728 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the bus = 54 km/h

The speed of the truck = 48 km/h

When the bus and truck meet again, the distance covered by the bus = 216 km more than he distance traveled by the truck

Let the distance between the two train stations = x

Let the location where they first meet be y from station A we have;

The location where they meet again = y - 216 km

Therefore, we have;

Location where they

The time for the truck and the bus to meet again = t

Therefore, 54 × t - 48 × t = 216 km

6·t = 216 km

t = 36 hours

Therefore, the time for the bus to travel x + 216 km = 36 hours

54 × 36 = 1944 = x + 216

x = 1944 - 216 = 1728 km

The distance between the two train stations = 1728 km.

What are the solutions to the following system of equations? x + y = 3 y = x2 − 9 (3, 0) and (1, 2) (−3, 0) and (1, 2) (3, 0) an
OLga [1]

The solutions for the given system of equations are:

(3, 0), (-4, 7).

<h3>How to solve the given system of equations:</h3>

Here we have the system:

x + y = 3

y = x² - 9

To solve this, we can replace the second equation into the first one, so we get:

x + (x² - 9) = 3

Now we can solve this quadratic equation for x, we need to solve:

x² + x - 12 = 0.

The solutions are given by Bhaskara's formula:

x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 - 4*1*(-12)} }{2*1} \\\\x = \frac{-1 \pm 7 }{2}

Then the two solutions are:

x = (-1 + 7)/2 = 3

x = (-1 - 7)/2 = -4

To get the y-values correspondent, we can evaluate the linear equation in these two values:

y = 3 - x.

For x = 3:

y = 3 - 3 = 0

For x = -4:

y = 3 + 4 = 7

Then the two solutions are: (3, 0), (-4, 7).

What's bigger 60% of 90 or half of 100?
dusya [7]
(90/100) x 60 = 54
60% of 90 = 54. 
(100/100) x 50 = 50
50% of 100 = 50

<em>60% of 90 is bigger than 50% (half) of 100. </em>
