Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The two trains are travelling towards each other. That means that their total distance = 912 km. Neither one has gone that distance by itself. The effect this has on the question is that you add the two rates multiplied by time.

Givens

r1 = x

r2 = x + 12

t = 3 hours

d = 912 km

Equation

d = r * t

r1 * t + r2 * t = 912

Solution

3x    + 3*(x + 12) = 912          Remove the brackets

3x +  3x + 36 = 912              Combine like terms

6x + 36 =   912                     Subtract 36 from both sides

 <u>     -36      -36</u>

6x       =      876                   Divide both sides by 6  

6x/6   =       876/6

x =               146 km/h

Answer

Slow train = 146 km/hr

Fast train = 146 + 12 = 158 km/hr

When using pi, do you use 3.14 or 3.141592653?
sergey [27]

Answer:

You would usually use 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

It kind of depends on where you are using it. In an equation, pi would be used as 3.14 and the answer would be approximated. To write it anywhere else (I dont know where else you would though), you would do the pi symbol. I hope this helps.
