Ok so first lets make the equation
3x=5+2x
we subtract 2 on each side
x=5
I believe this is how u do it
A car passes a landmark on a highway traveling at a constant rate of 45 kilometers per hour.
Let t be the time taken by second car
So t+1 is the time taken by first car
Distance = speed * time
Distance traveled by first car = 45 * (t+1)
second car passes the same landmark traveling in the same direction at 65 kilometers per hour
Distance traveled by second car = 65 * (t)
When second car overtakes the first car then their distance are same
65 t = 45(t+1)
65t = 45t + 45
Subtract 45 t from both sides
20t = 45
Divide both sides by 20
so
It took 2.25 hours for the second car to overtake first car
Triangle angles add up to a total of 180 degrees.
X will substitute for the second angle.
(X - 10) will substitute for the first angle, which is 10 less than the second angle (x).
The third angle is a right angle which is 90 degrees.
The equation therefore, the summation of the angles:
90 + x + (x - 10) = 180
Join like terms:
80 + 2x = 180
Solve for x:
2x = 100
x = 50
This means that:
The second angle is 50.
The first angle is 50 - 10 which is 40.
We can double check by adding the angles 50, 40, and 90 together to get 180.
