Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is an illustration of the problem:

             ----------------------------->|<------------------

            A                                  t                     J

Alex and Jo start from their separate homes and drive towards one another.  The t indicates the time at which they meet, which is the same time for both.  Filling in a d = rt table:

              d           =        r        x        t

Alex                              14                t

Jo                                   6                t

The formula for motion is d = rt, so that means that Alex's distance is 14t and Jo's distance is 6t.

             

                      14t                               6t

   ---------------------------------->|<------------------

   A                                       t                      J

The distance between them is 5 miles, so that means that Alex's distance plus Jo's distance equals 5 miles.  In equation form:

14t + 6t = 5 and

20t = 5 so

t = .25 hours or 15 minutes.

If they leave their homes at 3 and they meet 15 minutes later, then they meet at 3:15.

Help me plz i dont understand how t=40​
timama [110]

Answer:

t=40

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all angles in a triangle will always equal 180°. This means that:

(2t-42)+(4t-49)+(2t-49) = 180°

Let's solve this equation!

(2t-42)+(4t-49)+(2t-49) = 180

First we simplify what's on the left side:

2t-42+4t-49+2t-49 = 180

2t+4t+2t-42-49-49 = 180

8t-140 = 180

*Add 140 to both sides

8t = 180+140

8t = 320

Divide both sides by 8 to know what t means:

t = 320/8

t = 40

Pete is saving money to buy a used car
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

450 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

5000-1400=3600

3600/8=450

Since Peter already has 1400 dollars saved you can subtract that form the total amount and since he is trying to get the rest in eight months you just divide the difference by eight.
