Let the time elapsed be x, then
30x + 300 = 55x
55x - 30x = 300
25x = 300
x = 300/25 = 12

Therefore, it will take the express train 12 hours to overtake the freight train.

If a= 30 and b= 25 , find A Solve the problem, round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: A = 50.2 degrees

We are given a right angle triangle

Given that:

a = 30

b = 25

Line AB is the longest side which is the hypotenus

Line AC is the opposite sides

Using SOH, CAH, TOA

\begin{gathered} \text{Tan A = }\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}} \\ Oppoiste\text{ = 30, adjacent = 25} \\ \text{Tan A = }\frac{30}{25} \\ \text{Tan A = 1.2} \\ \text{ Find the arc tan} \\ A=tan^{-1}(1.2) \\ A\text{ = 50.19} \\ A\text{ = 50.2 degr}ees \end{gathered}

2 mechanics worked on a car. the 1st mechanic charged $75 per hour, and the 2nd charged $95. They worked a combined 20 hours and
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1. set up the equations:

a. total cost: 75x + 95y = 1800

b. total hours: x + y = 20

2. use substitution:

a. x + y = 20 → x = 20 - y

3. plug in value of x:

a. 75(20 - y) + 95y = 1800

4. distribute (75).

1500 - 75y + 95y = 1800

5. combine like terms:

20y = 300

6. divide:

y = 15

7. plug in y to other equation to get x:

x + 15 = 20

8. solve:

x = 5

1st mechanic (x) worked 5 hours

2nd mechanic (y) worked 15 hours

hope this helps :)
