The best way to solve this is to make an algebraic expression to represent the situation~
If x is the speed of the first train and y is the speed of the second we can make 716.7 = x + y
the first train is 5.3 mph faster so x = y + 5.3
Now we can replace x with our new value to get 716.7 = y + (y+5.3)
Simplify and we get 716.7 = 2y + 5.3
Now all we got to do is simplify this equation, 716.7 - 5.3 = 711.4. Divide by 2 to get 355.7 for the speed of the second train. Since the first train is 5.3 mph faster, we add that to the second trains value and get our answer. The first train is going at 361.7, the second at 355.7

Hank the hiker would like to go on a hike. He only has four hours available today for the hike. The expression 1/2d + 1/2e is us
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

No. Hank wont be able to complete the hike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time Available for hike = 4 hours

The expression which represents the time Hank needs to complete the hike is:

\text{time}=\frac{1}{2}d+\frac{1}{2}e

d is the distance in miles of the hiking trail. Since, Hank would like to hike 6 miles, d = 6

e is the elevation gain in thousands. Since, the trail hank will hike on has an elevation gain of 3000, so e = 3

Using these values in the expression, we get:

\text{Time}=\frac{1}{2}(6)+\frac{1}{2}(3)=4.5

This means Hank should allow him 4.5 hours or the hike. Since he has only 4 hours available, he wont be able to complete the hike. So the answer to this question is No.

sp2606 [1]
The two plans don't fall directly on a same prive, but after 3 hours of Data usage plan B costs more than plan A

After three hours plan A= $18.60

While plan B after three hours =$19.09

That means 3 hours has to pass before plan B costs more, That is 180 minutes

The rule per hour is $1.2 per hour for plan A and $4.8 per hour for plan B

Which diagram shows parallel lines cut by a transversal?
Arada [10]
Only the third model shows parallel lines cut by a transversal. 

We can solve this problem by using some properties that parallel lines cut by a transversal have. First of all, corresponding angles are congruent, and since the angles in figure 1 are corresponding but not congruent, that means that figure one is out. 

In addition, in figure two, alternate exterior and interior angles of parallel lines intersected by a transversal are congruent, so since they are not in the picture, that means that this figure is also out. 

Figure three is correct because since those are same side interior angles, they need to be supplementary for those to be two parallel lines intersected by a transversal. Since they do, in fact, add up to 180°, that means that the answer is figure three.
