Answer:

The trains will meet after 2.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the distances traveled by the two trains:

distance1 = (100 mph)(t hours)

distance2 = (90 mph)(t hours)

Sum of distance1 and distance2 = 494 miles = (190 mph)(t hours)

Solving for t, we get   t = 494 miles / 190 mph  = 2.6 hours

The trains will meet after 2.6 hours.

What are the determinants for solving this linear system?<br> 5x + 3y = 17<br> −8x − 3y = 9
Ksivusya [100]
For this case we have the following system of equations:
 5x + 3y = 17
 -8x - 3y = 9
 We can rewrite the system like:
 Ax = b
 Where,
 A = [5   3; -8   -3]
 b = [17; 9]
 x = [x; y]
 The determinant of matrix A is given by:
 lAl = ((5) * (- 3)) - ((3) * (- 8))
 lAl = (-15) - (-24)
 lAl = -15 + 24
 lAl = 9
 Answer:
 
The determinant for solving this linear system is:
 
lAl = 9
