Answer:

X= 4. Y = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a graphing calculator, put the first equation into Y1. And second equation into Y2. Then, find the intersection of the two equations. That's how you find your answer.

Two trains started moving at the same time, train A from Boston to New York, and train B from New York to Boston. The distance b

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

After 1.7 hours

Explanation:

1. Calculate the average speed of train B

60mph = 3/4 (s) ⇒ s = 60 (4/3) mph = 80 mph

2. Build a table

When the two trains meet:

Train Average speed Distance time (distance/average speed)

mph

A 60 x x/60

B 80 240 - x (240 - x) / 80

3. Write the equation

The time, when the two trains meet, is the same for both trains:

$\dfrac{x}{60}=\dfrac{240-x}{80}\\ \\ \\ 80x=14,400-60x\\ \\ 80x+60x=14,400\\ \\ 140x=14,400\\ \\ x=14,400/140\\ \\ x=102.85miles$

4. Calculate the time:

x/60 = 102.86 / 60 = 1.7 hours

The two trains will meet after 1.7 hours

Area of a triangle with verticals of (-4,1),(-7,5),(0,1)

Lynna [10]

Answer:

$8 ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the three points given are the vertices of the triangle. So the three points are:

A (-4,1)

B (-7,5)

C (0,1)

The area of a triangle is given by:

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

where b is the base and h is the height.

Here we can take as follows:

- We can take the base to be the side AC, so that its length is equal to the distance between the two points:

$AC=\sqrt{(0-(-4))^2+(1-1)^2}=4$

- The height of the triangle is therefore the perpendicular distance between AC and point B. This is equivalent the difference in the x-coordinate between any point on AC and B, so:

$h=(5-1)=4 ft$
