Let the time = x

Distance = Speed x time

One train is 75x, the other train 85x

Add together to equal total distance:

75x + 85x = 384

Simplify:

160x = 384

Divide both sides by 160:

x = 384 / 160

x = 2.4 hours

Write the equation of line in slope-intercept form. Line parallel to y=0.5x+3 that passes through the point (−9,12)
Sliva [168]

A line parallel to the given one will have the same slope, 0.5. For the purpose here, it is convenient to start with a point-slope form of the equation, then simplify. For slope m and point (h, k), the equation of the line can be written as

... y = m(x -h) +k

We have m=0.5, (h, k) = (-9, 12), so the equation is ...

... y = 0.5(x +9) +12

... y = 0.5x +16.5

frozen [14]

Square Root of 8 to the nearest tenth, means to calculate the square root of 8 where the answer should only have one number after the decimal point.

Here are step-by-step instructions for how to get the square root of 8 to the nearest tenth:

Step 1: Calculate

We calculate the square root of 8 to be:

√8 = 2.82842712474619

Step 2: Reduce

Reduce the tail of the answer above to two numbers after the decimal point:

2.82

Step 3: Round

Round 2.82 so you only have one digit after the decimal point to get the answer:

2.8

To check that the answer is correct, use your calculator to confirm that 2.82 is about 8.

A 13​-foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall of a​ building, with the bottom of the ladder standing on level ground 5 fee
Tanzania [10]
The answer is 12 because (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) 

5^2 + b^2 = 13^2  
 25  + b^2 = 169
                                                                          
169- 25 = 144    
 \sqrt{144}  Sqaure root of 144 is 12 so If we plug that in..
 25 + 144 = 169 
5^2 + 12^2 =13^2 
This all checks out 
~Hope This helps
