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 2/50 as a decimal
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Okay so what we need to do is simplify 2/50, which is 1/25.
Now divide 25 into 1.
Which we will get 0.04
Now we need to move the decimal 2 times to the right.
It will be 4%
Or just multiply it by 100 and you will get 4%.

I dont know how to divide a line segment.
melamori03 [73]

From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3y = x-5

x+ 5y = 7

Subtract x from both sides in the first equation. Write the second equation below it.

-x - 3y = -5

x + 5y = 7

Add the two equations above.

2y = 2

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 1

Substitute y with 1 in the second original equation and solve for x.

x + 5(1) = 7

x + 5 = 7

Subtract 5 from both sides.

x = 2
