Answer:
131.3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The two cars are moving from different directions. The total distance between the two cars = 118 miles + 256 miles = 374 miles.
Let us assume that the two cars meet at point O, let the distance between car c and O be d₁, the distance between car d and point O be d₂, hence:
d₁ + d₂ = 374 miles (1)
Let speed of car d be x mph, therefore speed of car c = 2x mph (twice of car d). If it take the cars t hours to meet at the same point, hence
For car c:
2x = d₁/t
t = d₁ / 2x
For car d;
x = d₂/t
t = d₂/ x
Since it takes both cars the same time to meet at the same point, therefore:
d₁/2x = d₂ / x
d₁ = 2d₂
d₁ - 2d₂ = 0 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives d₁ = 249.3 miles, d₂ = 124.7 miles
Therefore the distance from point of meet to Boston = 249.3 - 118 = 131.3 miles
Answer: $3.68
Step-by-step explanation:
22.10 divided by 6 is 3.6833333 repeating. round it to $3.68
The 9/5 put into a decimal is 1.8 so 1.8 times 100 is 180
Answer: -3x + 4, (2,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to get y alone on one side.
3x + y = 4
-4 -4 subtract 4 to get it on the left side.
-y -y subtract y to get it alone on the right side.
Your'e left with 3x - 4 = -y divide the whole equation by -1 do get a pos y
You then have y = -3x + 4. That's the first part of your answer.
To get the second part plug in (-3x + 4) into the y of the first equation, this is the substitution part.
-2x + 5(-3x+4) =-14 distribute the 5... -2x - 15x +20 = -14
add your like terms ( x and x) -17x + 20 = -14
Isolate your x by subtracting the 20, both sides -20 -20
-17x = -34 divide both side by 17 you get x = 2 (---- this is your first coordinate in the pair in your answer. To get the y do the same but solve for y instead of x.
