Answer:

2.6 hours ( or 2 hours 36 minutes).

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined speed is 70+80 = 150 mph.

Speed = distance / time,  so time = distance / speed.

So the time when they will meet

=  390 / 150

= 2.6 hours.

Answer:

Let's denote:

x: the time both trains traveled.

Then, we have:

70x + 80x = 390

=> 150x = 390

=> x = 390/150 = 2.6 hour

Yes. 5x-7y=2x-7
3x-7y=-7-3x
y=1+3/7x
y is the equation of the line where the y-intercept is (0,1) and the slope is 3/7.

Answer:

a = 1.5

VW = 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tangent lines connect both circles, we know that the line VU and VX are congruent (equal). Thus, we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:

a + 4 = a² + 0.25                            Set equal

a² - a = 3.75                                    Isolate a values

a² - a + 0.25 = 3.75 + 0.25            Complete the square

(a + 0.5)² = 4                                  Factor

a + 0.5 = 2                                     Simplify

a = 1.5

Now we need to calculate VW, but thats easy because its equal to TV, and since we know a, we can just plug it in:

((1.5) + 7.5) ft

9 ft
