Answer:

train A=38mph train B=44mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting up a table:

         s            t           d

A     x            190/x    190

B    x+6      220/x+6  220

Train A was 6mph slower as shown in the table, so to make it easier, train a is identified as x, train b would be x+6

Their distances are put in their respective column.

You find time from distance divided by speed.

So time would be written as such.

Since you know they take the same amount of time, for the equation, you connect them with an equal sign. Cross multiply to something like:

190(x+6)=220x

190x+1140=220x

1140=30x

x=38

You plug this in and get the speed for train A as 38, and train B as 44.

Hope this helps ^^

1) you have to find the difference between pipe A and pipe B, which is 6.40.

23.55-17.15=6.40

2) after finding the difference. You will take that difference and put it out of 23.55 and multiply by 100 to get your percentage. As so:

(6.40/23.55)(100)= 27.176% which rounds to 27% as a whole number.

Your answer is 27%. Hope that helps!

Part 2 is 12.5 cm represents 5km
I worked this out by doing a ratio
5cm=2km
?cm=5km
you have to do 2 times 2.5 to get 5km so you do 5 times 2.5 to get 12.5cm
so the answer is that 12.5cm

Find f(-3) in the function f(x) = -x-2
TEA [102]
I don’t know for sure if this is right but I got f(-3)=1.
f(-3)= -x - 2
f(-3)= -(-3) - 2
The 2 negatives cancel each other out and make a positive.
f(-3)= 3-2
f(-3)=1
