Answer:

15/4 and 45/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the numbers

x = 3y

x+ y = 15

Substitute the first equation in to the second equation

3y+y = 15

4y = 15

y = 15/4

x = 3(15/4)

x = 45/4

The two numbers are 15/4 and 45/4

If there are multiple operations at the same level on the order of operations off from left to right and you work like this first noticed that there are no parentheses or exponents so we moved to multiplication and division with any sense of parentheses

two trains leave the station at the same time one heading west and the other East the westbound train travels at 55 miles per ho
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

so... one train goes west and the goes the opposite way... alrite... so... notice, by the time 338 miles have been covered by both, it will have been "t" hours, and whatever "t" is, is the same amount of time the westbound train has been running as well as the eastbound train has been running.

now, let's say, since by "t" hours they've covered 338 altogether, so, if the westbound train has covered say "d" miles, then the eastbound train would have covered the slack from 338 and d, that is, "338 - d".

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
Westbound&d&55&t\\
Eastbound&338-d&75&t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=55t\\
338-d=75t\\
----------\\
338-\boxed{55t}=75t
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
338=75t+55t\implies 338=130t\implies \cfrac{338}{130}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{2.6}=t

so, 2hours and 36 minutes.

The 45°- 45° - 90° Triangle Theorem states that the length of the hypotenuse is ________ times the length of one leg.
Airida [17]
 <span>This is an isosceles triangle. If each side is 1, we can find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem. 

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 
1^2 + 1^2 = c^2 
1 + 1 = c^2 
2 = c^2 
root 2 = c 

Thus, the answer is root 2.

Hope this helps :)</span>
