Answer: the rate of speed for train A is 66 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of train B.
2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles per hour slower than train B. This means that the speed of train A would be x - 16 miles per hour.
The two trains are 720 miles apart after 4 hours. It means that both trains traveled a total distance of 720 miles in 4 hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled by train A after 4 hours is
4(x - 16) = 4x - 64
Distance travelled by train B after 4 hours is
4 × x = 4x
Since the total distance travelled by both trains is 720 miles, then
4x - 64 + 4x = 720
8x = 720 - 64 = 656
x = 656/8 = 82 miles per hour
The speed of train A would be
82 - 16 = 66 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
Remember: sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180
so to find x we use this equation
180 = 90 + 7x + 5 + 9x + 5 ( the little square in the triangle indicates that the angle is a right angle. right angles have a measure of 90 so that's where the 90 came from.)
now we solve for x
step 1 combine like terms
90 + 5 + 5 = 100
7x + 9x = 16x
now we have 180 = 16x + 100
step 2 subtract 100 from each side
180 - 100 = 80
100 - 100 cancels out
now we have 80 = 16x
step 3 divide each side by 16
80/16 = 5
16x/16=x
we're left with x = 5
Finally we plug in 5 into x for angle a
7(5)+5
7*5=35
35+5=40
so we can conclude that the measure of angle A is 40 degrees

Basically a negative times a negative is always positive, but when a negative number is cubed (or raised to any odd exponent for that matter) the product will be negative.
