Answer:

The answer to your question is 166 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

ve = rate eastbound train

vw = rate westbound train = ve - 14

distance = d = 900 mi

time = t = 5 h

Formula

v = \frac{distance}{time} = \frac{d}{t}

Substitution and simplification

ve = \frac{900}{5} = 180 mi/h

Now, substitute this value in the equation of vw

vw = 180 - 14

Result

vw = 166 mi/h

Which of the following are rational numbers {7,-5,2/3,5.79,,√13,√-4}
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

7, -5, 2/3, 5.79

Step-by-step explanation:

rational numbers are numbers you can put in fraction form. \sqrt{13} is not a perfect square, therefore you cannot put it in fraction form. \sqrt{-4} is an imaginary number. Rational numbers are in the Real Numbers category, so it is not a rational number.

3x-2y=10. 4x-y=6. solve each of the pair of simultaneous linear equation by substitution method ​
brilliants [131]

Answer:

x = 2/5, y= -22/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x−y=6;3x−2y=10

Step: Solve4x−y=6for y:

4x−y+−4x=6+−4x(Add -4x to both sides)

−y=−4x+6

-y/-1 = -4x +6 over -1 (Divide both sides by -1)

y=4x−6

Step: Substitute4x−6for y in 3x−2y=10:

3x−2y=10

3x−2(4x−6)=10

−5x+12=10(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−5x+12+−12=10+−12(Add -12 to both sides)

−5x=−2

-5x/-5 = -2/5 (Divide both sides by -5)

x=  2 /5

Step: Substitute  2/ 5  for x in y=4x−6:

y=4x−6

y=4 ( 2/ 5 ) −6

y=  −22 /5

(Simplify both sides of the equation)

x = 2/5, y= -22/5
