Answer: The answer will be 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Since you already know that the ordered pair is in the format of (x, y), then you can label one of the ordered pairs as 1 and kind of distribute it to get 1(x, y) = (x-sub1, y-sub1). Then just use the slope formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Train A - 50 miles per hour
train B - 30 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x mph be the speed of the train B, then the speed of the train A is (x+20) mph.
In 3 hours,
- train A travels 3(x+20) miles
- train B travels 3x miles
In total, they covered the distance of 240 miles, so
![3(x+20)+3x=240\ \ \ \text{[Divide by 3]}\\ \\x+20+x=80\\ \\2x=80-20\\ \\2x=60\\ \\x=30\ mph\\ \\x+20=30+20=50\ mph](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%28x%2B20%29%2B3x%3D240%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5Ctext%7B%5BDivide%20by%203%5D%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5Cx%2B20%2Bx%3D80%5C%5C%20%5C%5C2x%3D80-20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C2x%3D60%5C%5C%20%5C%5Cx%3D30%5C%20mph%5C%5C%20%5C%5Cx%2B20%3D30%2B20%3D50%5C%20mph)
n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3 - four consecutive integers
-142 - the sum
The equation:
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = -142
n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = -142
4n + 6 = -142 |subtract 6 from both sides
4n = -148 |divide both sides by 4
n = -37
n + 1 = -37 + 1 = -36
n + 2 = -37 + 2 = -35
n + 3 = -37 + 3 = -34
Answer: -37, -36, -35, -34.
