From the information obtained from the question, two equations can be created:
Let x and z be the two numbers (parts)

. . . . (1)

. . . . (2)
By transposing (2), make 'z' the subject of the equation

. . . . (3)
By substituting (3) into equation (1) to find a value for x




⇒

∴ either

OR

Thus x = 5 or x = 10
By substituting the values of x into (2) to find z
z + (5) = 15 OR z + (10) = 15
⇒ z = 10 OR z = 5
So, the two numbers or two parts into which fifteen is divided to yield the desired results are 5 and 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
thr standard form for a quadratic equation is:
ax²+bx+c
in this example, a=1, b=(-1), c=(-42)
In 4 hours they will be 400 miles apart 4 times 55 is 220 and 4 time 45 is 180 since there going in opposer directions add the miles together and it equals 400 so it takes 4 hours
The answer to your question is a. TRUE
