Answer: 1st train = 364 mph, 2nd train = 356.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Train 1: x + 7.8

Train 2: x

Train 1 + Train 2 = Sum

x + 7.8 + x = 720.2

7.8 + 2x = 720.2

2x = 712.4

x = 356.2

Train 1: x + 7.8

= 356.2 + 7.8

= 364

How many 4 digit multiples can not be divided by 5

Advocard [28]

Answer:

1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve this question by Modular Airthmatic.

Let the lowest 4 digit number be X.

X= 1 (mod 5)

X =2 (mod 5)

X=3 (mod 5)

X =4 (mod 5)

X=1+5 t where t is any integer.

1+5 t=2 (mod 5)

5 t=1 (mod 5 )

5 is the Modular Inverse of modulo 5

t=1 (mod 5)

t =1+5 u : u= any integer.

X becomes 1+ 5 (1+5u )=6+25 u

6+25u =3 (mod 5)

25 u= -3 (mod 5)=2 (mod 5)

25 is Modular Inverse of Modulo 5

u=2 (mod 5)

u =2+5 v : v= any integer.

X becomes 6 +25 (2+5 v)=56+125 v .

56 +125 v=4 (mod 5)

125 v=-52 (mod 5)=3 (mod 5)

125 is Modular Inverse of modulo 5

v = 3 (mod 5)

v =3 +5 w where w is any integer.

For lowest 4 digit number, take

w=200

X=1003 : Lowest 4 digit number.

Take w=201

X=208 : Next number.

For 4 digit largest number, take

w=1995

X= 9978 : Largest number.

No. of Numbers =(1995 - 200 )+1=1800 □Ans.

Jenny wants to rent a truck for one day. She contacted two companies. Laguana's Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile. Salv

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be number of miles.

Laguana's Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile.

Total cost of Laguana's Truck = $20+2m$ .... (1)

Salvatori's truck rentals charges $3 per mile.

Total cost of Salvatori's truck = $3m$ ... (2)

We need to find the number of hours after that the total cost for both companies will be the same.

$3m=20+2m$

$3m-2m=20$

$m=20$

Therefore, after 20 miles the total cost for both companies will be the same.
