a is given to us so just plug a into the first equation:
b-3 - 3b =9
Add 3 to both sides:
b-3b=12
Combine like terms:
-2b=12
Divide by -2 to get b by itself:
b=-6
The only answer with b as -6 is the first one, (-9,-6)
One way to go about this is to first list everything we know in the form of variables. This will make it easier to see how these numbers correlate instead of trying to remember formulas to plug these numbers into.
TimeA = 2.4h (time of Car A to travel)
TimeB = 4h (time of Car B to travel)
SpeedA = SpeedB + 22mph (Speed of Car A<span>)
</span>SpeedB = SpeedA - 22mph (Speed of Car B<span>)
</span>Distance = x (the distance traveled by each car)
We are looking for SpeedA. How can we find this? Well, we know that speed multiplied by time is equal to distance, so let's start there.
SpeedA * 2.4h = x
<span>(SpeedB + 22mph) * 2.4h = x
</span>(2.4h * SpeedB) + 52.8miles = x
We also know that:
SpeedB * 4h = x
Since both of these equations are equal to x, we can combine them:
SpeedB * 4h = x = <span>(2.4h * SpeedB) + 52.8miles
</span>SpeedB * 4h = <span>(2.4h * SpeedB) + 52.8miles
</span>1.6h * Speed B = 52.8miles
SpeedB = 52.8/1.6 mph = 33 mph
<span>SpeedA = SpeedB + 22mph = 33mph + 22mph = 55mph
</span>
Therefore, Car A was traveling at 55mph.

Below is similar question:
<span>48 out of 100 private buses usually run on time. Out of the buses that are on time, only 36 are owned by Jerry. Out of the remaining 52 buses that usually run late, only 7 are owned by Jerry. What is the probability that a bus is owned by Jerry, given that it runs on time?
A. 0.58
B. 0.67
C. 0.75
D. 0.81
</span>
The answer is C as <span>36/48 = .75</span>
parallelogram , opposite sides are equal
so
PR = QS
and
PQ = RS
4x - 1 = 3x + 7
x = 8
PQ = 4(8) - 1 = 32 -1 = 31
Given P = 74 cm
74 - 2(31) = 12
PR = QS = 12/2 = 6
Answer
QS = 6 cm
Answer:
1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x-7)=9
dustribute: (3)(2)+(3)(-7x)=9
6+-21x=9
subtract 6 from both sides: -21x=3
Divide both sides by -21: x=-1/7
so your 1 solution is x = - 1/7
