Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, it is important to know where the train that leaves Washington will get after one hour since they didn't start at the same time between noon and 1 is 1 hour.

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed * time

The distance S = 44 * 1

S= 44m

To determine the time they will pass each other

500(total distance)- 44 ( distance gotten to in 1 hour) - d(the distance it willl pass each other =44* t(time the train will pass each other.

456-d =44t

Second train

d = 32t

Substituting to the equation

456-32t=44t

456=76t

t= 6 hours.

The time they will pass each other is six hours.

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $ 28 plus a monthly fee of $ 22. Club B offers
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: 2 months, Total cost= $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the number of months then

For Club A fee= 28+22x

For Club B fee= 16+28x

Equating both we get

28 + 22x= 16+28x

28-16= 28-22x

12= 6x

x= 2

So after 2 months the fee will be same i.e. 28+22(2)= $72

The length of a rectangular garden ABCD is 9 feet more than its width. It is surrounded by a brick walkway 4 feet wide as shown
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

  16.5 ft by 25.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the garden in feet. Then w+9 is the garden's length, and w(w+9) represents its area.

The surrounding walkway adds 8 feet to each dimension, so the total area of the garden with the walkway is ...

  (w+8)(w+9+8) = w^2 +25w +136

If we subtract the area of the garden itself, then the remaining area is that of the walkway:

  (w^2 +25w +136) - (w(w+9)) = 400

  16w + 136 = 400 . . .simplify

  16w = 264 . . . . . . . . subtract 136

  264/16 = w = 16.5 . . . . . width of the garden in feet

  w+9 = 25.5 . . . . . . . . . . .length of the garden in feet
