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

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

8/27 ≈ 29.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Two of the six faces are B, which means four of the six faces are not B.

The probability of rolling not B three times is:

P = (4/6)^3

P = (2/3)^3

P = 8/27

P ≈ 29.6%

The solution of parallel lines will have the same slope but different y-intercepts. The solution of same/coinciding lines will have the same slope and y-intercept.
