Answer:

2.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate * time

If the west-bound train travels at a rate of 80 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 80t.  

If the east-bound train travels at a rate of 90 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 90t.

The distance between the trains after t hours is 476; therefore, the distance of the west-bound train plus the distance of the east-bound train equals the total distance between them, 476:

80t + 90t = 476 and

170t = 476 so

t = 2.8 hours

Solve for x: 3x − 24 = 81
Ludmilka [50]
If you would like to solve for x: 3x - 24 = 81, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>3x - 24 = 81
</span>3x = 81 + 24
3x = 105
x = 105 / 3
x = 35

How many 1 fourths are in 3 fourths?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

This question means 3/(1/4). The rule for division of fractions is invert the denominator and multiply. 3/(1/4) = 3 * 4 = 12. Another way to think of it is to imagine you have 3 pies each divided into quarters.

2x -2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5

4(5)-2 = 2(5)+8
20-2 = 10+8
