Answer:

5091 Km/hr and 505 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Let the speed of first automobile be 'x' and that of the second be 'y'

Since speed of one is 10 times greater than the other. therefore;

⇒ x = 10 y

also let time for faster automobile be 'T' and time for slower auto mobile be 't'

Since first arrive one hour earlier than second, therefore;

⇒ t = T + 1

⇒ For first automobile; x X T = 560 ; substituting for 'x' and 'T'. Therefore;

⇒ 10y (t+1) = 560

⇒ For Second automobile; y X t = 560

⇒ y = \frac{560}{t}

⇒ 10(\frac{560}{t})(t + 1) = 560

⇒ 5600 + \frac{5600}{t} = 560

⇒ 5600 - 560 =  -  \frac{5600}{t}

⇒ t = 1.11 hr

also ; T = 1.11 - 1 = 0.11 hr

Speed of 1st auto  = 560/0.11 = 5091 km /hr

Speed of 2nd auto = 560/1.11 = 505 km/hr

Please halp me with both!
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I see the term 2x being repeated 5 times, and repeated addition is multiplication, so we can do 5(2x) to get 10x, and we can set that equal to 11 to get 10x=11. Dividing both sides by 10 gets us x=11/10 or x=1.1

Find the value of k if it is known that the line y=kx+2 goes through point:
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

k = -10/7 and k = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: <em>y</em> = <em>kx</em> + 2

where k is the slope of line and 2 is y-intercept.

∵ line <em>y</em> = <em>kx </em>+ 2 is passing through point <em>P</em> (-7, 12), ∴ <em>x</em> = -7 and <em>y </em>= 12

Now substituting the value of x and y in above equation,

<em>y </em>= <em>kx</em> + 2

12 =<em> k</em>(-7) + 2

-7<em>k</em> = 12 - 2

- 7<em>k</em> = 10

k = \frac{-10}{7}

In the same way, ∵ line <em>y</em> = <em>kx </em>+ 2 is passing through point <em>P</em> (3, -7), ∴ <em>x</em> = 3 and <em>y </em>= -7

<em>y </em>= <em>kx</em> + 2

Now substituting the value of x and y in above equation,

-7 =<em> k</em>(3) + 2

<em>3k</em> = -7 - 2

<em>3k</em> = - 9

<em>k</em> = -3
