while the other travels at 80 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?

You need to take 360 and divide that by the speed of the trains combined which equals 2.4 hours. 


so....  70 + 80= 150   now divide 360 by 150  and you get 2.4 hours as your answer XD hope this helped!

S=d/t     ⇒d=s*t
s=speed
d=distance
t=time

The first train :
d=x

x=70 miles/h*t                             ⇒   x=70t  (1)

The second train
d=360 miles - x

360 miles - x=80 miles/h*t          ⇒360-x=80t   ⇒ x=360-80t   (2)

therefore, with the equations (1) and (2) we have a systeme of equations:

x=70t
x=360-80t

we can solve this system of equations by equalization method.

70t=360-80t
70t+80t=360
150t=360
t=360/150=2.4     (≈2 hour  24 minutes)

Answer:  the first train meet with the second train in 2 hour 24 minutes.

Let us assume that the first company the cab flat rate is 5$ and the cap driver charges 2$ per mile .for the second company the cab flat rate is 3$ and the cab driver charges 3$ per mile.
a. the company charges per ride at least 5$ and an extra 2$ per mile
b.the equation we will choose is slope intercept since we know the
y-intercept which is the cab flat rate .
y=mx+b
where
m :is the slope
b:is the y-intercept
y:total amount
x. is the milage
total amount=2x+5.
c.the slope will be 2$ which is the change in amount per mile.the y-intercept will be the cab's flat rate.
