Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

if say train B has a speed of "r", then A has a speed of "r-14".

now, they each travelled those miles in the same time, say "t" hours.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&-----&---&----\\
\textit{Train A}&220&r-14&t\\
\textit{Train B}&290&r&t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
220=t(r-14)\\
290=rt\implies \frac{290}{r}=\boxed{t}\\
----------\\
220=\boxed{\frac{290}{r}}(r-14)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
220=\cfrac{290(r-14)}{r}\implies 220r=290r-4060\implies 4060=70r
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4060}{70}=r\implies 58=r

how fast is Train A?  well, r - 14.

Please help easy stuff.......

To evaluate a function at a given input, you have to substitute every occurrence of the variable with that particular value.

So, for the first function, you have

T(x) = -x-2 \implies T(-4) = -(-4)-2 = 4-2 = 2

The name of the variable is obviously irrelelvant, so the same goes for the second function:

w(x) = 14-6x \implies w(-3) = 14-6\cdot(-3) = 14 + 18 = 32

A community organizes a phone tree in order to alert each family of emergencies. In the first stage, one person calls five famil
masya89 [10]
Answer: It will take 7 stages for all 19,530 families to be called.

In the first stage, only 5 families are called.

In the second stage, we would have 5 x 5 = 25 families being called.

In the third stage, we would have 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 families being called.
We can use exponents to finish the list and see when our goal is reached.

4th stage: 5^4 = 625

5th stage: 5^5 = 3125

6th stage: 5^6 = 15625

7th stage: 5^7 = 78,125

Given two complementary angles, 3x and (x - 2). Find the value of x.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 23°

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Complementary angles measure 90°

3x + (x - 2)° = 90°

=> 3x + x - 2° = 90°

=> 4x - 2° = 90°

Add the additive inverse of -2 to both sides of the equation

i.e 4x - 2° + 2° = 90° + 2°

=> 4x = 92°

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 4

=> 4x/4 = 92°/4

x = 23°
