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

What is the value of the following expression?2 x [(12 + 2) x 5] + 32 divided by 2 number on top right 3

a_sh-v [17]

The value of the expression is $141.5$

Explanation:

The expression is $2 \times[(12+2) \times 5]+\frac{3}{2}$

The value of the expression can be determined using the rule PEMDAS.

According to the PEMDAS rule, first we need to perform the operation which is within the parenthesis.

Thus, the expression becomes,

$2 \times(14 \times 5)+\frac{3}{2}$

Multiplying the values within parenthesis, we have,

$2 \times70+\frac{3}{2}$

Using PEMDAS, we need to multiply the numbers.

$140+\frac{3}{2}$

Again using PEMDAS rule, divide the number,

$140+1.5$

Finally, using PEMDAS, let us add the values, we have,

$141.5$

Thus, the value of the expression is $141.5$

A plumber charges 130 to start job plus 56 per hour . How many hours did she work if the total bill is 214

iragen [17]

Answer:

The plumber worked for 1.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 130 + 56x

Substitute 214 for y in the equation

214 = 130 + 56x

-130 -130 Subtract 130 from both sides

84 = 56x Divide both sides by 56

1.5 = x
