Answer:

$Sum = 5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1: 5x + 20

2: Opposite of 20

Required

Find their sum

Suppose that a is a number; The opposite of a is -a. So, the opposite of 20 is -20.

Having said that:

The required sum is:

$Sum = 5x + 20 + (-20)$

Remove bracket

$Sum = 5x + 20 -20$

$Sum = 5x$

If a fish swims 7/8 of the depth of a 32-foot deep lake, how many feet down did the fish swim?

Arlecino [84]

8/8 would be 32 so 7/8 would be 28 because 8 x 4 = 32 which would make each eight equal four.

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m, and 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel

Olegator [25]

The length of train is 120 meters

The speed of train is 25 meter per second

Solution:

The speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Given that,

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m

And 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel of 2010 m

Let the length of the train be "x"

The total distance travelled by the train across the bridge is given by:

total distance = x + 1260 + x = 2x + 1260

[ here we use x + x to represent that train completely drives through bridge ]

The time taken is given as 60 seconds

Therefore, the speed is given as:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}$

The total distance travelled by the train through the tunnel is given by:

total distance = x + 2010 + x = 2x + 2010

The time taken is given as 90 seconds

Therefore, the speed is given as:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}$

The speed of the train was the same in both cases.

Equate both speeds

$\frac{2x+ 1260}{60} = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}$

$\frac{x+630}{30} = \frac{x+1005}{45}$

$45(x+630) = 30(x+1005)\\\\45x + 28350 = 30x + 30150\\\\45x - 30x = 30150 - 28350\\\\15x = 1800\\\\x = 120$

Thus length of train is 120 meters

Find the speed of train:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}\\\\speed = \frac{2(120) + 1260)}{60}\\\\speed = 25$

Thus speed of train is 25 meter per second
