Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

so... one train goes west and the goes the opposite way... alrite... so... notice, by the time 338 miles have been covered by both, it will have been "t" hours, and whatever "t" is, is the same amount of time the westbound train has been running as well as the eastbound train has been running.

now, let's say, since by "t" hours they've covered 338 altogether, so, if the westbound train has covered say "d" miles, then the eastbound train would have covered the slack from 338 and d, that is, "338 - d".

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
Westbound&d&55&t\\
Eastbound&338-d&75&t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=55t\\
338-d=75t\\
----------\\
338-\boxed{55t}=75t
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
338=75t+55t\implies 338=130t\implies \cfrac{338}{130}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{2.6}=t

so, 2hours and 36 minutes.

If 3(r+300)=6, then what would be the value of r+300-2?
saveliy_v [14]

Solve for r in the first equation:

3(r+300) = 6

Use the distributive property:

3r + 900 = 6

Subtract 900 from both sides:

3r = -894

Divide both sides by 3:

r = -894 / 3

r = -298

Now you have r, replace r in the second equation and solve:

r +300 -2 =

-298 + 300 - 2 = 0

The answer is 0.

Value of Sam's car after t years =

==10000*(1-\frac{15}{100})^{t}\\\\=10000*(\frac{85}{100})^{t}\\\\=10000*(0.85)^{t}

Value of Sam's car in 5 years=

=10000*(0.85)^{5}\\\\=10000*0.4437\\\\

= $ 4437
