60 mph is One mile a minute. So the train will start to exit the tunnel after 7 minutes. It will finish exiting the tunnel 1.5 mins later.

The tail of the train starts one mile from the mouth of the tunnel and it must travel that distance plus the length of the tunnel in 3 minutes.

 

Let t = tunnel length

 

t + 1  = distance the tail must travel in 3 minutes.

3 minutes = 1/20 hr

 

 (t+1) miles  /  60 m/hr  = 1/20 hr

t + 1 = 60/20

t+1 = 3

Subtract 1 from each side:

t = 2

The tunnel is 2 miles long.

Answer:

2x + 3y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form:

Ax + By = C

So from the given form, arrange it to the standard form.

First, simplify the form by distribution.

y + 6 = -2/3(x - 11)

y + 6 = -2/3x + 22/3

Next, you make the fractions into whole by multiplying both sides by 3(this would eliminate all fractions).

(3)y + 3(6) = 3(-2/3x) + 3(22/3)

3y + 18 = -2x + 22

Now, arrange the "Ax" and the "C's".

3y + 18 = -2x + 22

2x + 3y + 18 = 22

2x + 3y = 22 - 18

2x + 3y = 4

Cheers!

Anastasy [175]

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A metallurgist wants to study four different fluxes, two different base metals, and three different amounts of energy input.

i.e. 4 different choices for fluxes.

2 different choices for base metals.

3 different choices for amounts of energy input.

If each run of the experiment involves a choice of one flux, one base metal, and one amount of energy input.

Then , the number of runs are possible :-

4\times2\times3=24

Hence, there are 24 different runs are possible .
