Let the slower cars speed equal X.

The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).


They traveled for 3 hours

Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.

So you have:

3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles

Simplify the left side:

3X + 3X+15 = 267

Combine like terms:

6x + 15 = 267

Subtract 15 from each side"

6x = 252

Divide each side by 6:

x = 252 / 6

X = 42


The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.

X, y, z are each a different digit<br> a. Max(2x+3y+7z)=?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

  101

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the largest weighted sum, you want to give the largest weight to the largest possible digit.

  Max( ) = 7·9 +3·8 +2·7 = 63 +24 +14 = 101 . . . . (x, y, z) = (7, 8, 9)

The maximum sum is 101.

Can any negative integer be greater than a positive integer explain
Keith_Richards [23]

No, it is impossible. Intuitively, a negative number sits at the left of 0 on the number line, and a positive number sits at the right of 0 on the number line. And a number x is greater than another number y if x sits at the right of y on the number line. So, every positive number is greater than any negative number.

Also, by definition, a positive number is greater than 0, and a negative number is smaller than zero. So, if x is positive and y is negative, you have

y < 0 < x

and since the relation of order "<" is transitive, this implies

y < x

Ainat [17]
360 degrees = 1 full rotation
7000/360 = 19.4444... turns

perimeter or circle = 2\pir
diameter = 30m
radius =15m

2\pi(15) = 94.24777961 per turn

94.24777961 x 19.444... turns = 1832.595714 meters traveled

Rounded = 1832.60 meters
