<span>1st train DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt = 50x miles
2nd train DATA:
rate = 55 mph ; time = (x-(1/2)) hrs ; distance = rt = 55(x-(1/2)) miles
Equation:
distance = distance
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)
Hope this helps!</span>
The answer to this question is 0
Let x be the smallest number.
x＋(x＋1)＋(x＋2)＝384
3x＋3＝384
3x＝381
x＝127
The three consecutive numbers are 127, 128 and 129.
Hope my answer helped u :)
476.00×5%=23.80 tax=476+23.80=499.80
