S=d/t ⇒d=s*t
s=speed
d=distance
t=time
The first train :
d=x
x=70 miles/h*t ⇒ x=70t (1)
The second train
d=360 miles - x
360 miles - x=80 miles/h*t ⇒360-x=80t ⇒ x=360-80t (2)
therefore, with the equations (1) and (2) we have a systeme of equations:
x=70t
x=360-80t
we can solve this system of equations by equalization method.
70t=360-80t
70t+80t=360
150t=360
t=360/150=2.4 (≈2 hour 24 minutes)
Answer: the first train meet with the second train in 2 hour 24 minutes.
Answer:
C is the most reasonable answer because to add the system of equations together, you must make sure that one of the terms (whether it be the x or y value) can cancel out.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
NOT PROPORTIONAL
Step-by-step explanation:
The given two fractions are: 
and 
.
Proportional fractions are those which have the same value when to reduced to the simplest form.
Consider two fractions 
and 
.
We say they are proportional if 
.
Or, if 
then we can say the fractions are proportional.
Here the fractions are: and .
LHS: 5 X 10 = 50.
RHS: 8 X 8 = 64.
Clearly they are not equal. So, we can say these two fractions are not proportional.
