Two cars are 190 miles apart and travel toward each other along the same road. They meet in 2 hours. One car travels 5 miles per
1 answer:
The speed of slower car is 45 mph and faster car is 50 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Distance covered by both cars = 190 miles
Time taken by both of them = 2 hours
Let,
x be the speed of slower car.
Speed of faster car = x+5
Combined speed = x+x+5 = 2x+5
We know that;
Distance = Speed * Time
Dividing both sides by 4
Speed of slower car = 45 miles per hour
Speed of faster car = 45+5 = 50 miles per hour
The speed of slower car is 45 mph and faster car is 50 mph.

Salt flows in at a rate of (5 g/L)*(3 L/min) = 15 g/min.
Salt flows out at a rate of (x/10 g/L)*(3 L/min) = 3x/10 g/min.
So the net flow rate of salt, given by in grams, is governed by the differential equation,
which is linear. Move the term to the right side, then multiply both sides by
:
Integrate both sides, then solve for :
Since the tank starts with 5 g of salt at time , we have
The time it takes for the tank to hold 20 g of salt is such that
