Answer:

y = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition y = 35 when x = 140, then

35 = 140k ( divide both sides by 140 )

0.25 = k

y = 0.25x ← equation of proportion

When x = 70, then

y = 0.25 × 70 = 17.5

Answer:

Train A - 50 miles per hour

train B - 30 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of the train B, then the speed of the train A is (x+20) mph.

In 3 hours,

train A travels 3(x+20) miles
train B travels 3x miles

In total, they covered the distance of 240 miles, so

$3(x+20)+3x=240\ \ \ \text{[Divide by 3]}\\ \\x+20+x=80\\ \\2x=80-20\\ \\2x=60\\ \\x=30\ mph\\ \\x+20=30+20=50\ mph$
