Hi,

Let us denote first train with T₁, its distance d₁, its speed v₁ = 85 km/h.

Similarly, second train would be with T₂, its distance d₂, its speed v₂ = 80 km/h. Also, let d be total distance, d = 495 km.

Given being the fact that train T₁ travels north, and train T₂ travels south, their path is on a straight vertical line. Please create a simple drawing, you will see the vertical line immediately.

Then, we need to find the time t, when d₁ + d₂ = d = 495 km (1)

Each speed v₁, and v₂ is constant, therefore we apply very well known formula:

d₁ = v₁·t, and d₂ = v₂·t (2).

From (1) and (2) we have:

v₁·t + v₂·t = d, or (v₁ + v₂)t = d ⇒ t = d/(v₁ + v₂) = 495/(80 + 85) = 495/165 = 3 hours.

So, it takes 3 hours to have those 2 trains 495 km apart.

Answer: $351.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 10% of 313.49 by 10 to get $31.35. take that and dived it by 4.5 and add it to the original 10% so you get 6.97 + 31.35 which equals $38.32. Given your wording, you should get $351.81. (38.32+313.35)

Answer: 6) x= 17 Same side interior angles sum to 180.

7) x= 3 Alternate exterior angles are equal.

8) x= 35 Corresponding angles are equal.

9) x= 12 Alternate interior angles are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

6) x= Same side interior angles sum to 180.

53+(8x-9)= 180

44+8x= 180

Subtract 44 from both sides

8x= 136

Divide both sides by 8

X = 17

7) x= Alternate exterior angles are equal. 15x+29= 26x-4

Subtract 15x from both sides

29= 11x-4

Add 4 to both sides

33= 11x

Divide both sides by 11

X=3

8) x= Corresponding angles are equal.

4x+7= 6x-63

Subtract 4x from both sides

7 = 2x -63

Add 63 to both sides

70= 2x

Divide both sides by 2

X= 35

9) x= Alternate interior angles are equal

9x+37= 14x-23

Subtract 9 x from both sides

37= 5x -23

Add 23 to both sides

60= 5x

Divide both sides by 5

12=x

if walters scooter can travel 53 miles on 1 gallon of gas, how far can his scooter travel on 2.5 gallons of gas?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

t= how far his scooter can travel on 2.5 gallons of gas

Start by setting up a ratio

53:1= t:2.5

Rewrite as fractions

\frac{53}{1} = \frac{t}{2.5}

Cross multiply

1(t)= 53(2.5)

Simplify

t= 132.5

Walter's scooter can travel 132.5 miles on 2.5 gallons of gas

I hope this helps!!!
