Let the speed of the first train be v mph. Then the speed of the second train is:
(v + 50) mph.
Distance traveled by the first train from 3pm to 7pm = 4v miles.
The second train travels 4v miles in 2 hours (from 5pm to 7pm). Therefore the speed of the second train = (4v)/2 = 2v.
However the speed of the second train is also given by (v + 50) mph.
v + 50 = 2v
v = 50.
The speed of the first train is 50 mph and the speed of the second train is 100 mph.

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

It begins at the point (0, -1200). 0 tickets sold, $1200 spent.

$5 for a ticket means that slope =5.

(600, 1800) and (0,-1200)

m= (1800-(-1200))/(600-0)=3000/600=5

slope=5

Answer is a.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle.

sinC = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{16}{28} , thus

∠ C = sin^{-1} (\frac{16}{28} ) ≈ 34.85° ( to 2 dec. places )
