Answer:

The speed of slower car is 55 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed of slower car = s_2 = s  mph

The speed of faster car = s_1 = ( s + 20 ) mph

The distance cover by slower car = d_2 = 165 miles

The distance cover by faster car = d_1 = 225 miles

The time taken by both cars for travelling = t hours

The speed of the cars remains constant

Now, <u>According to question</u>

∵ Time = \dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}

So,<u> For slower car</u>

t = \dfrac{d_2}{s_2}

Or, t = \dfrac{165}{s}           ............1

So, For faster car

t = \dfrac{d_1}{s_1}

Or, t = \dfrac{225}{s+20}           ............2

Now, equating both the equations

I.e  \dfrac{225}{s+20} = \dfrac{165}{s}  

<u>By cross multiplying</u>

Or, 225 × s = 165 × (s + 20)

Or, 225 s = 165 s + 3300

Or, 225 s - 165 s = 3300

Or, 60 s = 3300

∴  s = \dfrac{3300}{60}

I.e s = 55 miles per hour

So , The speed of slower car = s_2 = s = 55 miles per hour

Hence , The speed of slower car is 55 miles per hour.  Answer

1/2(n-5)=1/2(23-5) I cannot find what’s half of 23-5
liraira [26]

Answer:

n = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

if 1/2 (n-5) = 1/2 (23-5)

that must mean that n=23.

and if you are just looking for 1/2 of 23-5 that is just 9. (23-5) = 18 and half of 18 is 9

PLEASE HELP!<br><br> Reduce to simplest form.<br> 5/8 - (- 7/2)
Daniel [21]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf 4\frac{1}{8} }

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf =\frac{5}{8} - (-\frac{7}{2} )\\\\Rule : ( - *- = +)\\\\\=\frac{5}{8} +\frac{7}{2} \\\\LCM = 8\\\\\=\frac{5+28}{8} \\\\\=\frac{33}{8} \\\\=4\frac{1}{8}

\sf =\frac{5}{8}+ \frac{7}{2}  \\\\=\frac{5+28}{8}

\sf =\frac{33}{8} \\\\=4\frac{1}{8}

Hope this helped!
