Answer:

360 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

When the second car catches up with the first car they will have travelled the same distance which we call x miles.

Speed = distance / time

For first car   60  = x / t       where t = time taken

giving x = 60t

for second car   90 =  x / (t - 2)

giving x =  90t - 180

So equating these 2 equations

60t = 90t - 180

30t = 180

t = 6 hours

So x the distance  =  60t = 360 miles   answer

I believe x would equal to 30.

Since 6 * 3 =18, 10 * 3 = 30.
What you do to one side, you must do to the other.

Hope I helped!

What is the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 30?
kykrilka [37]
8, 10, 12

A helpful equation:
x+x+1+x+2 = 30

Combine like terms
3x + 3 = 30

Subtract 3 from each side
3x = 27

Divide each side by to isolate x
x = 9

x = 9. However, 9 is not an even number. Let’s subtract 1 from 9 to get the first even number.

The first number is 8. The best two even numbers after 8 are 10 and 12.

8 + 10 + 12 = 30, thus this is the sequence.

Y is directly related to x and y is 81 when x is 27 the constant of.variation is
suter [353]

Answer:

The constant of variation is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

y=81

x=27

And y is directly related to x

y ∝ x

Here k is constant of variation

y=kx

k=\frac{y}{x}--------------(1)

Put the y and x value in equation 1.

k=\frac{81}{27}

k=3

So, the constant of variation is 3.
