Answer:

The speed of the normal train is 60 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that both trains move at constant speed and cover the same distance. Then, we have the following identity:

v_{1}\cdot t_{1} = v_{2}\cdot t_{2} (1)

Where:

v_{1}, v_{2} - Average speeds of the express train and the normal train, in kilometers per hour.

t_{1}, t_{2} - Travel times of the express train and the normal train, in hours.

In addition, there is the following relationship between average speeds:

v_{1} = v_{2} + 90 (2)

By (2) in (1), we have the following expression for the average speed of the normal train:

(v_{2} + 90) \cdot t_{1} = v_{2}\cdot t_{2}

90\cdot t_{1} = v_{2} \cdot (t_{2} - t_{1})

v_{2} = \frac{90\cdot t_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}

If we know that t_{1} = 4\,h and t_{2} = 10\,h, then the average speed of the normal train is:

v_{2} = 90\cdot \left(\frac{4\,h}{10\,h - 4\,h} \right)

v_{2} = 60\,\frac{km}{h}

The speed of the normal train is 60 kilometers per hour.

Solve the equation for x. 1 6 (2x − 12x) = 30 A) −12 B) −15 C) −18 D) −24
lubasha [3.4K]

\frac{1}{6}*(2x-12x) = 30

\frac{1}{6}*(-10x) = 30

\frac{-10}{6}x = 30

\frac{-5}{3}x = 30

\frac{5}{3}x = -30

x = -30/\frac{5}{3} = -30 * \frac{3}{5}

x = -18

the correct answer is C

$3000 is invested at 3% annual interest for 3 years.<br> a. Simple Interest b. Compound Interest
stich3 [128]

Answer:

a. $270

b. $3,278.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The principal amount is $3,000

Annual rate of interest is 3%

And, the time period is  3 years

We need to find out the simple interest & compound interest

The following formulas should be used

a. For simple interest

= Principal × rate of interest × time period

= $3,000 × 3% × 3 years

= $270

b. For compound interest

= Principal × (1 + rate of interest)^time period

= $3,000 × (1 + 0.03)3

= $3,000 × 1.03^3

= $3,278.18

Round 389,422 to the ten thousand
frosja888 [35]
To round 389,422 to the ten thousand, you need to go to the second number which is 8 and round it to the right. To the right of 8 is 9 so if a number is more than 5 you round 8 to 9. Then all the numbers after 8 turn into zeros

So... your answer is:

390,000

Andrew needs a ladder to hang hoilday lights. His house is 24ft tall and he has a flower bef that extends 4 ft out from the side
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: 24.33\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to draw a Right triangle as the one attached, where "x" is the lenght of a ladder Andrew will need to reach the top and be out of the flower bed.

You must apply the Pythagorean Theorem. This is:

a^2=b^2+c^2

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are the legs of the Right triangle.

If you solve for "a", you get:

a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2}

In this case, you can identify in the figure that:

a=x\\\\b=24\ ft\\\\c=4\ ft

Therefore, knowing those values, you can substitute them into  a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2} and then you must evaluate, in order to find the value of "x".

This is:

x=\sqrt{(24\ ft)^2+(4\ ft)^2}\\\\x=24.33 ft

Find the value of x and the measure of each angle in the parallelogram
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

\angle D= 162\\\\\angle E = 18\\\\\angle F = 162\\\\\angle G = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

By properties of parallelograms we know that opposite are the same so we have

12x=4(x+3)\\\\4(3x)=4(x+3)\\\\3x=x+3\\\\2x=3\\\\x=\frac{3}{2}

so for the angles we have

\angle G=\angle E=12(\frac{3}{2})=18\\\\\angle D=\angle F = 180-\angle G=180-18=162
