The traveling speed of each ship is :

  • Ship A = 24 mph
  • Ship A = 24 mphShip B = 26 mph

Distance apart at 12:00 noon = 176 miles

Recall :

Distance = speed × time

Ship A :

Departure time = 9AM

Speed = s

Travel time = 12 - 9 = 3 hrs

Distance covered = 3 × s = 3s

Ship B :

Departure time = 8AM

Speed = 2+s

Travel time = 12 - 8 = 4 hours

Distance = 2+s(4) = 8 + 4s

Distance apart = 3s + (8 + 4s)

176 = 3s + 8 + 4s

176 = 7s + 8

176 - 8 = 7s

168 = 7s

s = 168 / 7

s = 24

Ship A speed = s = 24mph

Ship B speed = s + 2 = 26 mph

There were 100 questions on a math test. If Jamal got 4 times as many right as he got wrong, what was Jamals score?
IgorLugansk [536]

Jamal's score is 80

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Number of questions = 100

Let w be the number of wrong answers

Let r be the number of right answers

According to question,

r = 4w

r + w = 100

Solving both the equations we get:

4w + w = 100

5w = 100

w = 20

If w = 20 then r = 4 X 20 = 80

Therefore, Jamal's score is 80

The sum of two numbers is 87. The difference of the same to numbers is negative 111. Find the numbers.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

99 and - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the 2 numbers, then

x + y = 87 → (1)

x - y = - 111 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term eliminates the y- term

2x = - 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 12

Substitute x = - 12 into (1)

- 12 + y = 87 ( add 12 to both sides )

y = 99

The 2 numbers are 99 and - 12
