From the question, we can deduce the following points;

- 12 less than x which simply means 12 subtracted from x.

- the value of the above expression is equal to 51.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

x - 12 = 51

Rearranging the equation (collecting like terms), we have;

x = 51 + 12

A train leaves Miami at 3:00 PM. A second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 8:00 PM. The second train travels

Anika [276]

Answer:

The first train travels at 58 mph and the second train travels at 203 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first train left Miami at 3:00 PM.

The second train left Miami at 8:00 PM.

Let the speed of the first train be x.

The second train travels 145 mph faster than the first, that is 145 + x

The second train overtakes the first at 10:00 PM

This means that at 10:00 PM, they were both at the same location.

That is 7 hours after the first train left and 2 hours after the second train left.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance traveled and t = time taken

For the first train, after 7 hours traveling at speed x:

x = d / 7

=> d = 7x _______(1)

For the second train, after 2 hours, traveling at speed 145 + x:

145 + x= d / 2

=> d = 290 + 2x ____(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7x = 290 + 2x

=> 7x - 2x = 290

5x = 290

=> x = 290/5 = 58 mph

Therefore, the first train travels at 58 mph and the second train travels at 203 mph (58 + 145)

Interest on financing is the extra amount paid by the couple when their total payments are compared to the cash price of $6,230.

The total payments would be the 25% down payment plus the sum of the twelve monthly payments of $415 each

Down payment=cash price*25%

Down payment=$6230*25%

Down payment=$1,557.50

Total monthly payments=amount of each monthly payment*number of monthly payments

monthly payment=$415

number of monthly payments=12

Total monthly payments=$415*12

Total monthly payments=$4,980

Total payment under financing=Down payment +Total monthly payments

Total payment under financing=$1,557.50+$4,980
