3x-2(x+3)=4x-9-x is the question

kozerog [31]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x = 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2(x + 3) = 4x - 9 - x

Start by multiplying 2 by the values in the parenthesis

3x - 2x + 6 = 4x - 9 - x

Subtract 3x - 2x and 4x - x

x + 5 = 3x - 9

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

x + 14 = 3x

Subtract x from both sides of the equation

14 = 2x

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

$\large\boxed{x = 7}$

Hope this helps :)

Two trains are 210 miles apart, and their speeds differ by 17 mph. Find the speed of each train if they are traveling toward eac

Marizza181 [45]

V1 - velocity first train
v2 - velocity second train
v2 > v1

v2 - v1 = 17 mph

We know, that:
$s_1+s_2=210 \ [miles] \\ \\ t_1=t_2=2h$

So:

$v_1=\dfrac{s_1}{t_1}=\dfrac{s_1}{2} \\ \\ v_2=\dfrac{s_2}{t_2}=\dfrac{s_2}{2} \\ \\ \\ v_1+v_2= \dfrac{s_1}{2}+\dfrac{s_2}{2} \\ \\ v_1+v_2= \dfrac{s_1+s_2}{2} \\ \\ v_1+v_2= \dfrac{210}{2}=105$

NOw we've got simple system of equations:

$+\begin{cases} v_2-v_1=17 \\ v_2+v_1=105\end{cases} \\ \\ 2v_2=122 \qquad /:2 \\ \\ v_2=61 \qquad [mph] \\ \\ v_2-v_1=17 \\ \\ 61-v_1=17 \\ \\ v_1=44$

Velocities of these trains are 61mph and 44mph
