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.

The measure of < A is 45 degree
VashaNatasha [74]

We are given \triangle ABC \cong \triangle EFG

The order of the letter sequence is important. The letters pair up based on how they are arranged. We see that A and E are the first letters of the sequences. So this means that angles A and E are the same measure

angle A = angle E

3x+20 = 5x-80

3x-5x = -80-20

-2x = -100

x = -100/(-2)

x = 50

Use this x value to find the measure of angle A

angle A = 3x+20

angle A = 3(50)+20

angle A = 150+20

angle A = 170 degrees

<h3>Therefore, the statement "the measure of angle A is 45 degrees" is <u>false</u>.</h3>

Plz help with slope question
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form:

y = -3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula:

y-y_{1} = m (x-x_{1})

Use the given slope -3 and point (0,-4) for the formula:

y + 4= -3 (x-0)

-Then, you solve the formula:

y + 4 = -3 (x-0)

y+4 - 4 = -3 (x-0) -4

y = -3x - 4

The equation, which is in slope-intercept form:

y = -3x - 4

55% of 6th grade students voted in the student election. 440 sixth grade students voted in the student election. How many total
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

800. Here's why:

Step-by-step explanation:

This indicats that 440 students make up 55% of the 6th grade population. We can write this as

55/440.

We also know that 'x' total students make up 100% of the 6th-grade population, so we can write this as

100/x.

55/440 must be equal to 100/x. When cross multiplied, it becomes 50x=44000. If we divided each side by 50, we'll find that x=880. Therefore, there are 800 6th graders
