Answer:

After 900 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

when we convert the velocities of the ships into miles/ min we get

45mph=45m/60min=0.75m/min

36mph=36m/60min=0.6m/min

The equations determining the distances  of the ships from the port M (set at x=0) are

D_1=0.75t (for 45mph ship)

D_2=162+0.6(t-45) (for 36mph ship)

The solution to these equation lie at t= 900 minutes; therefore the two ships will meet 900 minutes after the departure of the first ship.

Solve for x: two thirds(x − 2) = 4x.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x =  - 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3} (x - 2) = 4x

Expand with the distributive rule:

\frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{2}{3}  \times 2 = 4x

\frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{4}{3}  = 4x

Add 4/3 to both sides:

\frac{2}{3} x = 4x +  \frac{4}{3}

Subtract 4x from both sides

- \frac{10}{3} x =  \frac{4}{3}

- 10x = 4

x =  - 0.4

Solve for x<br> 2m-nx=x+4
Airida [17]
2m-4 = x+nx switch sides
2m-4 = x (1+n) common factor
2m-4/1+4 = x divide both side by 1-x
