It takes the high-speed train x hours to travel the z miles from Town A to Town B at a constant rate, while it takes the regular

train y hours to travel the same distance at a constant rate. If the high-speed train leaves Town A for Town B at the same time that the regular train leaves Town B for Town A, how many more miles will the high-speed train have traveled than the regular train when the two trains pass each other?
(A) z(y – x)/x + y
(B) z(x – y)/x + y
(C) z(x + y)/y – x
(D) xy(x – y)/x + y
(E) xy(y – x)/x + y

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we use ratio.

Firstly, we need to know the number of hours traveled. The total number of hours traveled = x+y

Ratio of this used by high speed train = x/(x +y).

Total distance traveled before they meet = [x/(x + y)] × z

For low speed train = [y/(x + y)] × z.

The difference would be distance by high speed train - distance by low speed train.

= z [ (x - y)/x + y)]

How do you do inequalities
sineoko [7]

Answer:

See description below.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inequality is an equation with more than one solution and they use <, >, \leq or \geq. There are a number of ways to work with inequalities.

Solving: To solve inequalities in one variable, treat it just like an equation. Solve using inverse operations. If you divide or multiply by a -1 then be sure to flip the sign. For example, if you have > then it becomes <.

Graphing on a number line: To graph inequalities in one variable, use a number line. Plot a point on the number line with an open circle then an arrow pointing toward the solution set. If you have an equal to, you would shade in the open circle.

Solving: To solve inequalities in two variables, you need a system meaning more than one. You solve it like a system of equations by graphing.

Graphing: To graph inequalities with two variables, graph each in y=mx+b form using the y-intercept and slope. Connect the points with a dashed line unless equal to. Equal to inequalities have a solid line. To show the solution set, shade the side of the inequality which (x,y) points make it true. To find this, test a point by substituting into the inequalities.
