Answer:

Train A: 125 tons

Train B: 25 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the situation as a+b=150, and we can also write the value for train b as a-100=b.

To make the equations have only one variable, we can use the substitution method to create a+(a-100)=100. In this, since we know what b equals, we were able to replace the b in the first equation with the value of b in the second equation. Next, we solve the problem for a.

a+(a-100)=150

a+a-100=150

2a-100=150

<u>    +100=+100</u>

2a=250

250/2=125

a=125

Now that we know that train A is 125 tons, we can plug 125 in the equation that represents the weight of train B. Train B is 100 tons lighter than train A, and the equation for train b is a-100=b. We can replace a with 125, creating 125-100=b.

Solve.

125-100=b

25=b

Check answers.

a+b=150

a=125

b=25

125+25=150

150=150

The answers are equal!! So, this means train B is 25 tons, and train A is 125.

Hope this helps!

0.07s=$154+0.05s Subtract 0.05s from each side.

0.02s=$154 Divide each side by 0.02.

s=$7700 Both plans pay the same when sales=$7700

Which expression represents the area of the shaded region?
irina1246 [14]

Given:

A circle of radius r inscribed in a square.

To find:

The expression for the area of the shaded region.

Solution:

Area of a circle is:

A_1=\pi r^2

Where, r is the radius of the circle.

Area of a square is:

Area=a^2

Where, a is the side of the square.

A circle of radius r inscribed in a square. So, diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square.

a=2a

So, the area of the square is:

A_2=(2r)^2

A_2=4r^2

Now, the area of the shaded region is the difference between the area of the square and the area of the circle.

A=A_2-A_1

A=4r^2-\pi r^2

A=4r^2-\pi r^2

A=r^2(4-\pi )

Therefore, the correct option is (a).
