Answer:
-5x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply number 2 and 2=4 so it is
4-5x-2
2. Combine like terms
-5x+4-2
3. Subtract the numbers
-5x+2
The two numbers are both -15
-15 x -15= 225
-15+ -15= -30
Hope you could get an idea from here.
Doubt clarification - use comment section.
95x=85x+288
You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.
Let's subtract 85x from both sides.
10x=288
28.8=x
It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.
28.8×95
2,736
28.8×85
2,448
2,736-2,448
288
So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.
