Good to see you here. Now back to the train. 

Kaduna, K                                                                                   Lagos, L
 
Train leaves at 64 km/h

One hour late second train leaves Lagos at 96 km/h.

At the point they meet, if first train has been travelling for "x" hours. Second train has been travelling for (x-1) hour.

At the point the meet, the total distance travelled is equal to 624 km.

Therefore:

64(x) + 96(x-1) = 624
64x + 96x - 96 = 624
160x = 624+96
160x =       720             , x = 720/160 = 4.5

So when they meet, the first train which left Kaduna has travelled= 64x = 64*4.5= 288km from Kaduna.

So it is (624-288) km from Lagos. = 336 Km from Lagos.

Second train which left Lagos has travelled = 96(x-1) = 96(4.5-1) = 336km.
The second train is also 336 km away from Lagos.

Cheers.

D=DVDs and G=Games solve for 2D+3G=15.50 and 3D+1G=12.05
kogti [31]

We have

1G = 12.05 - 3D;

Then,

2D + 3( 12.05 - 3D) = 15.50;

2D + 36.15 - 9D = 15.50;

- 7D = - 20.65;

D = 2.95;

Finally, G = 12.05 - 3 x 2.95;

G = 3.20;

In a group of 40 people, 27 can speak English and 25 can speak Spanish. How many can speak
Svetradugi [14.3K]

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Information \: provided \:  with  \: us }}}}}\: \bigstar}

➻ In a group of 40 people, 27 can speak English and 25 can speak Spanish.

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{What \: we \:  have  \: to \: find ? }}}}}\: \bigstar}

➻ The required number of people who can speak both English and Spanish .

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Assumption}}}}}\: \bigstar}

<u>Consider</u> ,

➻ A → Set of people who speak English.

➻ B → Set of people who speak Spanish

➻ A∩B → Set of people who can speak both English and Spanish

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Given}}}}}\: \bigstar}

  • ➻ n (A) = 27

  • ➻ n (B) = 25

  • ➻ n (A∪B) = 40

  • ➻ n(A∩B) = ?

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Now}}}}}\: \bigstar}

➻ n(A∪B) = n(A) + n (B) - n(A∩B)

➻ 40 = 27 + 25 - n (A∩B)

➻ 40 = 52 - n (A∩B)

➻ n (A∩B) = 52 - 40

➻ ∴ n (A∩B) = 12

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Therefore}}}}}\: \bigstar}

∴ Required Number of persons who can speak both English and Spanish are <u>12 .</u>

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

\qquad {\: \:\bigstar \:  {\underline{\overline{\boxed{\bf{Verification}}}}}\: \bigstar}

➻ n(A∪B) = n(A) + n (B) - n(A∩B)

➻ 40 = 27 + 25 - 12

➻ 40 = 52 - 12

➻ 40 = 40

➻ ∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
