Answer:

1.8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to note that:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

We have two trains.

Step 1

We have to find the distance that each train travelled.

Since Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Distance = Speed × Time

First train

It travels at 105 miles per hour

Distance travelled by first train =

105 × x hours

= 105x miles

Second Train

It travels at 85 miles per hour

Distance travelled by the second train = 85 miles × x hours

= 85x miles

We are told that: the two trains leave stations 342 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other

Hence, the time it would take each train to meet each other is calculated as:

105x + 85x = 342 miles

190x = 342 miles

x = 342/190

x = 1.8 hours.

Find the solution to the system of 5x+2y=-24 x-y=5
Mashutka [201]
So to do this, we have to get rid of one of the variables by adding or subtracting the two equations together.
I will get rid of y. So, we can multiply the second equation by 2. This gives us
2x-2y=10
Now, we can add both equations
This gives us 7x=-14
Therefore, x = -2
Plug that into another equation.
-10 + 2y=-24
Therefore, y = -7

Hope this helped!! :D

Answer:

4b³c⁴ + 2b⁴c³

Step-by-step explanation:

5b⁴c³ and 3b⁴c³ have the same variables. Therefore, they are like terms.

4b³c⁴ + 5b⁴c³ - 3b⁴c³

4b³c⁴ + 2b⁴c³

Landon is designing a new board game, and is trying to figure out all the possible outcomes. How many different possible outcome
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

12 total possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because these are independent events, or events that don't rely on each other, the key is to find the possibilites then multiply them all. There are four equal size sections, and three other equal sized sections, so we do 3 * 4 = 12.

Multiply
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

= 6x^{2}−7x−20

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x−5)(3x+4)

= (2x+−5)(3x+4)

= (2x)(3x)+(2x)(4)+(−5)(3x)+(−5)(4)

= 6x^{2} +8x−15x−20

= 6x^{2}−7x−20

32% of what number is 28
Rama09 [41]
This is how it goes.
X * 0.32 = 28
0.32X = 28
X = 28/0.32
X = 87.5
This means 28 is 32% of 87.5 :)
