Answer:
Two trains leave a town at the same time heading in opposite directions. One train is traveling 12 mph faster than the other. After two hours, they are 232 miles apart. What is the average speed of each train?
52 mph; 64 mph
55 mph; 70 mph
92 mph; 104 mph
98 mph; 110 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
--------------------------------------------------
Define length and width
--------------------------------------------------
Let x be the width
width = x
Length = 2x + 4
--------------------------------------------------
Formula
--------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and width
--------------------------------------------------
62 = 2(2x + 4 + x)
62 = 2(3x + 4) <em> ← combine like terms </em>
62 = 6x + 8 <em>← remove bracket </em>
62 - 8 = 6x <em>← minus 8 on both sides </em>
6x = 54 <em> ← swap sides </em>
x = 54 ÷ 6 <em>← divide by 6 on both sides</em>
<em>x = 9 m</em>
--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
--------------------------------------------------
Width = x = 9 m
Length = 2x + 4 = 2(9) + 4 = 22 m
--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 22m
