An Eastbound train (E) traveling 95 mph and a Westbound train (W) traveling 110 mph leave the same train station at different ti

mes. After 4 hours, they are 4 00 miles apart. Which system of linear equations can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling?

Answer:

The system of linear equations that can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling is:

E + W = 4 ....... Equation 1

95 E + 110W = 400  ......Equation 2

Hence,

An Eastbound train has been travelling for =  (E) = 2.67 hours

A Westbound train has been travelling for =  (W) = 1.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

An Eastbound train (E) traveling 95 mph and a Westbound train (W) traveling 110 mph leave the same train station at different times. After 4 hours, they are 4 00 miles apart. Which system of linear equations can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling?

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance = Speed × Time

Let the time

An Eastbound train =  (E)

A Westbound train =  (W)

E + W = 4 hours ....... Equation 1

95mph × E + 110mph × W = 400 miles

95 E + 110W = 400 miles ......Equation 2

The system of linear equations that can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling is:

E + W = 4 ....... Equation 1

95 E + 110W = 400  ......Equation 2

E = 4 - W

We substitute 4 - W for E in Equation 2

95 (4 - W) + 110W = 400  

380 - 95W + 110W = 400

Collect like terms

95W - 110W = 400 - 380

15W = 20

W = 20/15

W = 1.3333333333 hours

≈ 1.33 hours

E = 4 - W

E = 4 - 1.33 hours

E = 2.67 hours

Therefore,

An Eastbound train has been travelling for =  (E) = 2.67 hours

A Westbound train has been travelling for =  (W) = 1.33 hours

.......... is the slope zero
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

OK... You have to use this formula: <u>Y2 - Y1</u>

                                                          X2 - X1

  • -2 represents X1
  • 7 represents Y1
  • 2 represents X2
  • -5 represents Y2    

<u>Y2 - Y1</u>

X2 - X1

<u>-5 - 7</u>

2 - - 2

<u>-12</u>

-2

Simplify by dividing both -12 & -2 by 2: <u>-6</u>

                                                                 -1

It's either <u>-6</u> or it's just -6 by itself... Really sorry if I'm wrong...

                -1
