Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The house blueprint shows the bedroom is 4 in wide and its actual length is 12 yards wide. This means that every 1 inch on the blue print represents 3 yards on the actual building. The scale is the ratio of the length of a side on the blueprint to the length of a corresponding side on the actual. Therefore, the scale for the blueprint is 3: 1
Therefore, the scale factor is 3
Answer:
4x+13
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms -2x and 6x to get 4 then combine 9 and 4 to get 13
Answer: it seems to be D, but the equation makes practically no sense!
The value of the factor changes for the different amounts of service years and vacation weeks.
Step-by-step explanation: The equation means that the employee is trying to figure out the value of the "v-factor" for how vacation time is earned.
If you substitute the number of service years into the left side of the "formula" and vacation weeks on the right side, then solve for "v", v(15)=5 you get v= 1/3 or 0.33
If you substitute other numbers, like v(2)=2, so v= 1 then v(30) = 8, v = 4/15 or 0.2667. You see the factor's value decreases. The company is much more generous to to employees with one or two years of service than with the older ones.
