A freight train from city A to city B and a passenger train from city B to city A left the cities at the same time, at 10:00 AM,

heading towards each other. The distance between the cities is 360 miles. The freight train is travelling at 50 mph, the passenger train is travelling at 70 mph. At what time will the trains pass each other

Answer: Both trains would meet at 1 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time at which both trains will pass each other.

The distance between the cities is 360 miles. This means that by the time both trains meet, the total distance covered would be 360 miles.

Distance = speed × time

The freight train is travelling at 50 mph. Distance covered by the freight train in t hours is 50t.

The passenger train is travelling at 70 mph. Distance covered by the passenger train in t hours is 70t.

Since the total distance covered is 360 miles, it means that

50t + 70t = 360

120t = 360

t = 360/120

t = 3 hours

Both trains would meet at 1 pm

What is slope-intercept form? <br> Why do we write equations using this form?
Brums [2.3K]
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept

the slope is the rate of change of the graph, basically rise/run (change in y divided by change in x)

the y intercept is where the graph intercepts the y axis





we usually use this form because we can find the slope and find where it hits the y axis.
there are other forms that may be helpful later on, but this one is usually the easiest form to find from a graph

Tell me what each angle is in the following triangle: angle 1 is 8x, angle 2 is 2x+3, angle 3: 30 degrees. give me the two answe
9966 [12]
Answer:  117.6° ;  32.4° .
_________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
Note: ALL triangles, by definition, have exactly 3 (THREE) sides and exactly 3 (THREE) angles.   
_____________________
We are given the following:
_______________________
We have a triangle.

Angle 1:  m∡1 = (8x) ;

Angle 2:  m∡2 = (2x + 3) ;

Angle 3:  m∡3 = 30.
______________________________________
We are asked to find:  "m∡1"  and " m∡2" .
______________________________________
Note: In ALL TRIANGLES, the measurements of all THREE (3) angles ALWAYS add up to 180 degrees.
________________________________________
   So, " m∡1 + m∡2 + m∡3 = 180 " . 
________________________________________
Let us substitute our given values for the measurements in EACH of
the THREE (3) angles — on the left-hand side of the equation;  then solve for "x" ;  then substitute that solved value for "x" into the given expressions for BOTH  "m∡1" AND "m∡2" ; to find the values for " m∡1" AND " m∡2 " ; which are the values asked for in this very question ; 
___________________________________________
 
                m∡1 + m∡2 + m∡3 = 180  ; 
___________________________________________
             8x + (2x + 3) + 30 = 180 ;
___________________________________________
             8x + 2x + 3 + 30 = 180 ;
___________________________________________
  Combine the "like terms" on the 'left-hand side" of the equation; to simplify:
____________________________________________________________
            +8x + 2x = +10x ;
___________________________________________
              +3 + 30 = +33 ; 
___________________________________________
  Rewrite the entire equation, as:
___________________________________________
         10x + 33 = 180 ; 
___________________________________________
 Now, subtract "33" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
___________________________________________
         10x + 33 − 33 = 180 −<span> 33 ;
___________________________________________
 to get:
___________________________________________
         10x    =   147 ;  
____________________________________________
   Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "10" ; to isolate "x" on ONE SIDE of the equation; and to solve for "x" : 
____________________________________________
         10x / 10 = 147 / 10 ; 
____________________________________________
   to get: 
____________________________________________
              x = 14.7 ;
___________________________________________
    Now, given the following, we plug in our solved value, "14.7", for "x", into the expression given for "m</span>∡1" and "m∡2";  as follows:
________________________________________________

Angle 1:  "(8x)" = 8*(14.7) =  117.6° ; 
________________________________________________
Angle 2:  "2x + 3" = 2*(14.7) + 3 = 29.4 + 3 = 32.4° ;
________________________________________________
These are the two answers; that is the 2 (TWO) values asked for in the question:   117.6° ;  32.4° .
<span>____________________________________</span><span>
 Do they make sense? That is, do the measurements of ALL 3 (THREE) angles; that is, our two solved measurements added together, and then added to the value of the third angle (given: "m</span>∡3 = 30°); all add up to 180° ?
___________________________________________
Let us check:
_______________________________
   m∡1  +  m∡2  +  m∡3 = 180 ; 
_______________________________
Plugging in our solved values for "m∡1" and "m∡2" ; and our given value: "30" — for "m∡3 — does the equation hold true?
______________________________________________
   → 117.6 + 32.4 + 30 = ? 180 ??
______________________________________________
   → 117.6 + 32.4 = 150  ;   → 150 + 30 =? 180 ?  Yes!
