Answer:  426

Step-by-step explanation:

221 - 33 = 288

288 - 4 = 284

284 / 2 = 142

284 + 142 = 426

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Let the speed of the train be x km/h.

Case 1:

Distance = 288 km

Speed = x km/h

Time = Distance/Speed

= 288/x h

Case 2:

Distance = 288 km

Speed = (x+4) km/h

Time = 288/x + 4 h

Since 288/x > 288/x + 4

288/x - 288/x+4 = 1

288[1/x - 1/x+4 ] = 1

[ x + 4 - x / x(x + 4) ] = 1/288

[4 / x^2 + 4x ] = 1/288

x^2 + 4x = 1152

x^2 + 4x - 1152 = 0

x^2 + 36x - 32x - 1152 = 0

x(x + 36) - 32(x + 36) = 0

(x + 36)(x - 32) = 0

x + 36 = 0 , x - 32 = 0

x = -36 , x = 32

x = -36 , rejected since speed cannot be negative.

Therefore , speed of the train = 32 km/h

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y = 7 x − 3 y=7x−3
eimsori [14]

Answer:

(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y = 7 x − 3

a. (1,4) b. (-1,-4) c. both d. neither

Solution

y=7x-3

Solve by trying each ordered pair

a. (1,4)

x=1, y=4

Substituting the value of x and y into the equation

y=7x-3

4=7(1)-3

4=7-3

4=4

This is a true statement

b. (-1,-4)

x=-1, y=-4

Substitute the value into the equation

y=7x-3

-4=7(-1)-3

-4= -7-3

-4= -11

This is not a true statement

This true statement is when x=1 and y=4

So, the ordered pair (1, 4) is the solution
