Let car  b be travelling at x  mph.  as they are travelling towards each other their speed of approach is (x + x + 15 ) mph.  So we have the equation

speed = distance / time

2x + 15 =  250 / 2

2x = 125 - 15 = 110

x = 55 mph

Car b travels at 55 mph and car a travels at 70 mph  Answer

Rewrite 8x - 7 as the product of two factors
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

factors are any group of number or expressions which, when multiplied, produce another number or expression.

Basic example:  4 can be broken into 2 factors---2 and 2.  2 times 2 = 4

Example using an unknown:

2X + 6 = 2 * (X + 3)

In the given problem, there is no whole-number common factor.  A normal convention would be to factor based on the unknown term----thus 8X is factored into 8 and X.

So:  8X + 7 = 8 ( X + 7/8 )

The following would also be correct:

8X + 7 = 4 ( 2X + 7/4 )

A line passes through (2, –1) and (8, 4). a. Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. b. Rewrite the equation in stan
pentagon [3]
The point-slope form of a line is:

y-y1=m(x-x1),  where m=slope and (x1,y1) is any point on the line

First we need to find the slope, which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4--1)/(8-2)

m=5/6 and we can use either point, I'll use (8,4)

y-4=(5/6)(x-8)

That is your equation in point-slope form.

Now the standard equation of a line is ax+by=c

y-4=(5/6)(x-8)  we can perform the indicated multiplication on the right side

y-4=(5x-40)/6  multiply both sides by 6

6y-24=5x-40  add 24 to both sides

6y=5x-16  subtract 5x from both sides

-5x+6y=-16  and by convention, the standard equation of a line should be expressed with a positive coefficient for x, so multiply both sides by -1

5x-6y=16
