Let t hours be the number of hours needed for the second train to catch up the first one.

Then the first train is  on the way (t+1) hours.

1. First train travels at a speed of 60 mph (t+1) hours and passes

60\cdot (t+1)\ m.

2. Second train travels at a speed of 70 mph t hours and passes

70\cdot t\ m.

Since two trains will meet, then

60\cdot (t+1)=70\cdot t,\\ \\60t+60=70t,\\ \\10t=60,\\ \\t=6\ hours.

Then they will meet at 7:00 p.m.

Answer: 7:00 p.m.

The floor of the commons room at King Middle School is in the shape of a square with side lengths of x^2 y^3 feet. New tile is g
umka2103 [35]
The useful hint here is the shape of the area which is square. By definition, a square is a two-dimensional figure that consist of two parallel sides have the same equal measure. The only given dimension of a square is its side. The area is equal to the square of the side. Since the side has a measure of x²y³,

A = s² = (x²y³)²
By the laws of exponents, for this problem, just simply distribute the outer exponent to each of the inner exponent.
A = x⁴y⁶

2- 1/2n=3n+16<br><br> I need you to solve the whole equation step by step
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 1/2 n = 3n + 16

Combine the constants by subtracting 2 from both sides.

-1/2n = 3n + 14

Combine the variable by subtracting 3n from both sides.

-7/2n = 14

Multiply both sides by 2 to simplify the fraction.

-7n = 28

Isolate n by dividing by -7 on both sides.

n = -4

Check.

2 - 1/2(-4) = 3(-4) + 16

2 + 2 = -12 + 16

4 = 4

Your answer is correct.
