Answer:

------

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The average speed of train A = 60 mph,

   The average speed of train B = 60 / 3/4 = 80 mph

Time it takes for trains to meet = 240/(60 + 80) = 240/140 = 12/7 hours

2. The trains meet in 12/7 hours, each traveling at their own speed.

S = D/T, D = S*T

Therefore we can say:

12/7(60) = distance train A is from Boston = 720/7 miles

12/7(80) = distance train B is from New York = 960/7 miles

The distance from New York would = 960/7 miles

Answer:

24m + 12 - - - (1)

12(2m + 1) - - - (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression :

4(m + 3 + 5m)

Equivalent expressions include :

24m + 12 - - - (1)

12(2m + 1) - - - (2)

Using algebaraic properties :

4(m + 3 + 5m)

We can expand :

4m + 12 + 20m

4m + 20m + 12

24m + 12

Hence,

4(m + 3 + 5m) = 24m + 12

Using Substitution:

Let m = 5

4(m + 3 + 5m)

4(5 + 3 + 5(5))

4(5 +3 + 25)

4(33)

= 132

12(2m + 1)

12(2(5) + 1)

12(10 + 1)

12(11)

= 132
