Answer:
I think it changed from 36x to 48x
Depending on how you look at it, it could have changed from 3x to 4x or 36x to 48x.
If they said it was 18 feet instead of 18 inches, it would be 3x or 4x, but they had it as inches.
18 inches = 1.5 feet
72/1.5 = 48
54/1.5 = 36
So originally, it would have been a scale of 1 in : 36in , but it changed to 1 in : 48 in
Sorry if this was confusing.

Identity:

So we can rewrite the denominator to get

Multiply numerator and denominator by

. Several terms will cancel since

. Also,

. We get

Factorize the numerator, and write

in terms of

in the denominator to factorize it further to get

The

factors cancel, leaving you with

which you could simplify a bit further by writing
Answer:
Part a) The speed is 
Part b) After 4 seconds the trains is 24 ft along the track
Part c) 
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

This is the equation of a line in slope intercept form
where
s(t) is the position of a model train in feet
t is the time in seconds
Part a) How fast is the train moving?
The speed of the train is equal to the slope of the linear equation so
The slope m is equal to

therefore
The speed is 
Part b) Where is the train after 4 seconds?
For t=4 sec
substitute the value of t in the equation and solve for s

therefore
After 4 seconds the trains is 24 ft along the track
Part c) When will the train be 29 feet along the track?
For s(t)=29 ft
Substitute the value of s(t) in the equation and solve for t

subtract 14 both sides


Divide by 2.5 both sides

rewrite

Answer:
C. S = 275/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for speed is S = d/t
The d is = 275
The t is = 3
So S = 275/3
Hope this helps ya!!
Value of x = 7.499
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find value of x in the equation: 
This can be solved using natural log
Solving:

Subtract 7 from both sides:

Simplifying:


Using rule if f(x)=g(x) then, ln(f(x))=ln(g(x))
So,

Applying log rule: logₐ(x^b)= b logₐ(x)

Divide both sides by 2ln(2)
So, Value of x = 7.499
