Answer: the answer is 54
Step-by-step explanation: The error in the expression was that it was multiplied by 1 so it can't be one unless it was also 1 and it's not it is 54.
1.) 40, 2.) 8, 3.) 18, 4.) 15, 8.) 12, 9.) 30, 10.) 72, 11.) 36
The time when the two trains reach each other is 1.25 hours
The trains are 68.75 away from the city when they reach each other.
I would use the quadratic formula for this:
x = -b ± √b² - 4ac over 2a
x = 8 ± √64 - 4(1)(0) over 2(1)
x = 8 ± √64 over 2
x = 8 <span>± 8 over 2 [simplify]
x = 4 </span><span>± 4
x1 = 4 + 4 x2 = 4 - 4
x1 = 8 x2 = 0
Thus, the solutions for x would be 0 and 8.</span>
