Let x be the length of the train.

On the basis of the observer;
Speed of the train = x/6

On the basis of the bridge;
Total distance covered by any point of the train= 350+x
Speed = (350+x)/20

Equating the two expressions of speed;
x/6 = (350+x)/20
20(x) = 6(350+x)
20x = 2100+6x
(20-6)x = 2100
14x = 2100
x= 2100/14 = 150 m
Speed = x/6 = (350+x)/20 = 150/6 = 500/20 = 25 m/s.

Therefore,
Length of train = 150 m
Speed of train = 25 m/s

Write an equation in point slope form for the line that passes through (-5,6) and (-3,-9).

Finger [1]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad
(\stackrel{x_2}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-9})
\\\\\\
slope = m\implies
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-9-6}{-3-(-5)}\implies \cfrac{-9-6}{-3+5}\implies -\cfrac{15}{2}$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll}
\cline{1-1}
\textit{point-slope form}\\
\cline{1-1}
\\
y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\\\
\cline{1-1}
\end{array}\implies y-6=-\cfrac{15}{2}[x-(-5)]\implies y-6=-\cfrac{15}{2}(x+5)
\\\\\\
y-6=-\cfrac{15}{2}x-\cfrac{75}{2}\implies y=-\cfrac{15}{2}x-\cfrac{75}{2}-6\implies y=-\cfrac{15}{2}x-\cfrac{87}{2}$

The difference between two numbers is 15. If 8 is added to twice the greater number, the result is 4 less than 3 times the lesse

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the greater number and $y$ be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

$x-y=15$

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

$2x+8 = 3y-4 \iff 2x-3y = -12$
