Answer:

  367 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the faster train is half the total plus half the difference:

  s1 = (723.1 +10.9)/2 = 367 . . . . miles per hour

_____

<em>Check</em>

The slower train is 367-10.9 = 356.1, and the total is 723.1 mph, as required.

_____

If you want an equation, you can let x represent the faster speed. Then the total is ...

  x + (x -10.9) = 723.1

  2x = 723.1 +10.9

  x = (723.1 +10.9)/2 = 367

if an amount of $5,000 is deposited into a savings account at an annual interest rate of 5%, compounded monthly, what is the val
Ugo [173]

Answer:

$8,240

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Principle amount in the savings account, P = $5,000.

Rate of interest, r = 5% = 0.05

Time period, t = 10

Also, the interest is compounded monthly, n = 12

As, we now that the value of the investment is given by P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Thus, we have,

Investment Value = 5000(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{12\times 10}

i.e. Investment Value = 5000(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{12\times 10}

i.e. Investment Value = 5000(1+0.00417)^{120}

i.e. Investment Value = 5000\times 1.648

i.e. Investment Value = $8,240

Hence, the investment amount after 10 years is $8,240.

How do i simplify it? ​
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

6 3/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract) then you do what is inside the parenthesis first.

3 1/2 divided by 2= 1 3/4

1 3/4 plus 5= 6 3/5

Then, you add the x and since there is no other variable like x, then you just leave it with 6 3/4.

Hope that helped! :)
