Answer:

V_{E} = -22.5 / 15 = 1.5 miles/minute\\V_{F} = 7.5 / 15 = 0.5 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, we must bear in mind that the express train travels 3 times faster than the freight train.

If we call F the distance that the freight train travels and we call E at the distance that the express train travels, we must have the distance between them after 15 minutes it must be 30 miles.

So

F + E = 30\\

We also know that:

E = 3F

Since the express train travels 3 times faster than the freight train.

So, like both equations, we have to:

F + 3F = 30\\F = 30/4\\F = 7.5 miles\\

Then E = 7.5*3 = 22.5 miles in the opposite direction.

This is the distance you traveled in 15 minutes.

Therefore, the speed of the express train (V_{E}) is the distance traveled between the time it did

V_{E} = -22.5 / 15 = 1.5 miles/minute\\V_{F} = 7.5 / 15 = 0.5 miles/minute

Factorise:<br> 14x^2-10x+12
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

14x^-10x+12+2=-140x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

Very simple. Just add/multiply the like terms, (14x^-10x & 12+2), and then you'll get the answer, but since 140x and 14 are not like terms, the answer stays as 140x+14.
