Answer:

A=368 miles

B= 356.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the two trains be A and B

A+B=724.3----------1

A-B=11.7--------------2

From eqn 1

A= 724.3-B

put this in place of A in eqn 2

724.3-B-B= 11.7

724.3-2B= 11.7

724.3-11.7= 2B

712.6=2B

B= 712.6/2

B= 356.3 miles

Put B=356.3 in eqn 1

A+356.3=724.3----------1

A= 724.3-356.3

A=368 miles

What is the value of y in this system of equations?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

-21

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x + 2y = -18.........(i)

-3x - 2y = 54...........(ii)

add equ.(ii) to equ. (i)

(-6x + [-3x]) + (2y + [-2y]) = -18 + 54

-9x = 36

x = -4

sub x= -4 into equ (i)

-6(-4) +2y = -18

24 + 2y = -18

24 +18 = -2y

42 = -2y

y = -21

Juliette [100K]
Let us try and solve it analytically. We have that the side=x+3  together with the short side=s and the diagonal=x+4 satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. Then we have that (x+4)^2=(x+3)^2+s^2. This yields s^2+x^2+6x+9=x^2+8x+16
which yields s^2=2x+7, hence a) is the correct answer.
