Question

Mathematics

Answer:

2.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance traveled by the truck heading west = x miles.

Let the distance traveled by the truck heading east = y miles.

Distance between the trucks = 325 miles.

Therefore, x + y = 325 (Equation 1).

Speed of the truck heading west = 70 miles per hour.

Speed of the truck heading east = 60 miles per hour.

Therefore, time taken by the truck heading west = x/70 hours and time taken by the truck heading east = y/60 hours.

Since the time is same for both trucks, therefore:

x/70 = y/60.

6x = 7y.

x = 7y/6 (Equation 2).

Put Equation 2 in Equation 1:

7y/6 + y = 325.

(7y + 6y)/6 = 325.

13y = 1950.

y = 150 miles.

Since time taken by the truck heading east = y/60 hours, put y = 150 miles.

Time taken = 150/60 hours.

Time taken = 2.5 hours.

Therefore, the trucks will travel 2.5 hours before they are 325 miles apart!!!

Kenya is solving the equation 5 3/4 - 1/6x = 4 1/2. She gets to 1 1/4 = 1/6x. Is this a valid way to solve the equation? answer
Alona [7]

Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/4 - 1/6x = 4 1/2

move the variable to it's own side.

5 3/4 - 4 1/2 = 1/6x

change the subtracting side to have common denominators

5 3/4 - 4 2/4 = 1/6x

1 1/4 = 1/6 x

divide both sides by 1/6, same thing as multiplying both sides by 6 (reciprocal)

30/4 = x

reduce: 15/2 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the  Victor's age.

We are supposed to Translate this sentence into an equation

The product of Victor's age and 7 is 84

Victor's age = v

Product of victor's age and 7 =7 \times v

We are given that their product is 84

So,7 \times v =84

Hence The product of Victor's age and 7 is 84 in equation form is 7v=84

=3x² + 7x² + 5x³ + 4x³  (factor out common powers)

= (3+7)x² + (5+4)x³
