Suppose that the rate of the second train is x mph
the rate of the first one will be (x+26) mph
the distance covered by the trains will be:
Distance=speed*time
first train will be:
(2 4/5)×(x+26)
=14/5(x+26)
=14/5x+364/5

Second train:
14/3(x)
=14/3x
Given that both trains covered the same distance, then
14/5x+364/5=14/3x
364/5=28/15x
x=39 mph
thus the distance between the town will be:
14/3(39)
=182 miles

One smartphone plan costs $52 per month for talk and messaging and $8 per gigabyte of data used each month. A second smartphone
valina [46]

Answer:

Both plans would cost $100 if 6 gigabytes of data are used.

Explanation:

From the question, the system of equation are correctly represented by using small letter c to represent the total cost in dollars for both equations as already assumed in the question as follows:

c = 52 + 8d ........................... (1)

c = 82 + 3d ........................... (2)

Since c is common to both, equations (1) and (2) can therefore be equated and d solved for as follows:

52 + 8d = 82 + 3d

8d - 3d = 82 - 52

5d = 30

d = 30 / 5

d = 6

Substituting d = 6 into equation (1), we have:

c = 52 + (8 * 6)

c = 52 + 48

c = 100

Since d = 6 and c = 100, it therefore implies that both plans would cost $100 if 6 gigabytes of data are used.

X + y = 8<br> 3x - y = 12
Virty [35]

Answer:

x = 5 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation

y crosses out so you are left with

4x = 20 (divide by 4)

x = 5

plug x into either equation

5 + y = 8 (subtract 5)

y = 3
