Two trains leave towns 912 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels 12

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

Find the value of x and 3x.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

x = 90°

3x = 270°

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape in half through the plane of 3x and x.

We can find the angle of x/2 is 45°.

Since x/2 = 45°, then we can fid that x=90°.

To find 3x, we simply multiply 90° 3 times.

So 3x = 270°.

In the diagram shown, lines m and n are
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two line 'm' and 'n' are parallel and a transversal line 't' i intersecting these lines at two distinct points,

Sum of interior consecutive angles should be 180°.

(Property of the angles formed between parallel lines and a transversal line)

Therefore, 114° + 64° = 180°

178° = 180°

Which is not true.

Therefore, lines 'm' and 'n' are not the parallel lines.
