Answer:

first do:

60mph * 4 hours= 240mi

Let D = the distance the passenger train has to  

travel to catch the freight train

Start a stopwatch when the passenger train leaves

Let t = the time on the stopwatch when they meet

Equation for freight train:

d-240=60t

Equation for passenger train:

d=100t

all together:

100t-240=60t

we can do 100t-60t because they both have (t)= 40t

40t=240 *now divide 240 by 40= 6

THEN do:

D= 100mph x 6= 600mi

They will meet 600 mi from the station

to check:

d-240=60t x 6

600-240= 360

60 x 6= 360

360=360

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The original price of the book was $12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 0.2(3x) + 10 = 40
30x - 2(3x) + 100 = 400
   30x - 6x + 100 = 400
           24x + 100 = 400
                     24x = 300
                         x = 12.50

Fill in the table using this function rule<br><br> y=2x+2<br><br> Photo ⬇️
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the values of x to the equation y = 2x + 2 and calculate the value of y:

x = 2

y = 2 · 2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

x = 5

y = 2 · 5 + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12

x = 6

y = 2 · 6 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

x = 8

y = 2 · 8 + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

If arc VY = 132° and ∠YUV = 41°, what is the measure of arc XV?
Tom [10]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this equation

\frac{b - a}{2}  = angle \: yuv

where b is arc VY, A is arc XV.

Substitute the equation in

\frac{132 - a}{2}  = 41

132 - a = 82

- a =  - 50

a = 50

so our arc measure is 50
