Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 95 miles per

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

It will take 1.6 hours for the two trains to be 336 miles apart.

Step by step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of eastbound train = 95 miles per hour

Speed of westbound train = 115 miles per hour

Combined speed = 95+115 = 210 miles

Distance = 336 miles

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\210 = \frac{336}{Time}\\\\Time = \frac{336}{210}\\\\Time = 1.6\ hours$

Hence,

It will take 1.6 hours for the two trains to be 336 miles apart.

2. Which is the following equation rewritten in slope-intercept form: -8x = 2 - 2y

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

B, y = 4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to get it into y- intercept form we need to write it in the form y = mx + b

-8x = 2 - 2y, move 2y to the other side and -8x to the other side they both become positive.

2y = 8x + 2, dividing each by 2

yields y = 4x + 1

Hope this helps

I think you substitute 189 for the letter t.

You actually do substitute.
