Train a is traveling at 30 mph faster than train b. If train a travels 350 miles in the same amount of time that train b travels

Answer:

20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of Train a = Va mph

Let speed of Train b = Vb mph

Va = Vb + 30

Let time taken for Train a = Ta

Let time taken for Train b = Tb

time taken = distance travelled/speed

Ta = 350/Va = 350/(Vb+30)

Tb = 140/Vb

But they both travel in the same amount of time.

So, Ta = Tb

$\frac{350}{v_{b} + 30}=\frac{140}{v_{b}}$

Cross multiply

$350v_{b} = 140(v_{b} + 30)\\\\350v_{b} = 140v_{b} + 4200\\\\350v_{b} -140v_{b} = 4200\\\\210v_{b} = 4200$

Divide both sides by 210

$\frac{210v_{b} }{210} \frac{4200}{210} \\\\v_{b} = 20 mph$

How do you solve each system of equations?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

$x=1,y=3,z=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x-4y+4z=-4$

$4x=-4+4y-4z$

$x=-1+y-z$

Substitute $x=-1+y-z$ into second equation:

$4\left(-1+y-z\right)+y-2z=5$

$-4+4y-4z+y-2z=5$

$5y-6z-4=5$

$y=\frac{6z+9}{5}$

Substitute $x=-1+y-z$ and $y=\frac{6z+9}{5}$ into the third equation:

$\frac{-41z-54}{5}+3=-16$

$-41z-54=-95$

$z=1$

Substitute $z=1$ into $y=\frac{6z+9}{5}$ :

$y=3$

Plug in y and z values into $x=-1+y-z$ :

$x=1$

If f(x)=4x^2 and g(x)=x+1, find (fog)(x)

iren [92.7K]

Answer: The value of $(f_\circ g)(x)$ is $4(x+1)^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $f(x) = 4x^2 \text { and } g(x) = x+1$

To find: $(f_\circ g)(x)$

As we know it is composition function which means that g(x) function is in f(x) function.

So we have

$(f_\circ g) (x) = f[g(x)]$

$\Rightarrow( f_\circ g)(x)= f(g(x)) = 4(g(x))^2$

Now substitute the value of g(x) we get

$(f_\circ g)(x)= 4(x+1)^2$

Hence, the value of $(f_\circ g)(x)$ is $4(x+1)^2$ .

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line y = -7/2x-3

Maksim231197 [3]

You do not have the options listed, but I will tell you what the line needs:

[] A parallel line will need the same slope.

- The slope is our m in y = mx + b

[] What will this be for our problem:

- $y=\frac{-7}{2}x-3$

- Our slope is $\frac{-7}{2}$

[] So what will the line look like:

- $y=\frac{-7}{2}x +?$

- Since you do not have the options listed, I cannot tell you the answer, but I can tell you the answer will have a slope of $\frac{-7}{2}$

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

It takes 8 workers 5 hours to build 2 cars. Assuming they work at the same speed , how long does it take 2 workers to build 8 ca

vodomira [7]

Answer:

80 hours for 2 workers to build 8 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

2 cars / 8w *5 hr = 2 cars / 40 hrs 1 car takes 20 hrs

8 cars * 20 hours = 160 hours required

two workers split this time 160/2 = 80 hours
