<span>1st train DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt = 50x miles
2nd train DATA:
rate = 55 mph ; time = (x-(1/2)) hrs ; distance = rt = 55(x-(1/2)) miles
Equation:
distance = distance
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)
Hope this helps!</span>
Any number 1-26 should work. the expression would me x<$26.
Well first because in this equation the first value is less than one, we should multiply the whole equation by 3, so
<span>x/3= x+1/4
x=3x+3/4
now we should switch the values
3x+3/4=x
now subtract x from both sides
2x+3/4=0
now subtract 3/4 from both sides
2x=-3/4
now divide both sides by 2
x=3/8
So that's your answer!

Answer:
6 14/15
Step-by-step explanation:
I would say simplifie the paratensies.
First:
3 2/3+ 17 1/5 =
Common factor of 3 and 5 is 15
3 10/15 + 17 3/15 = 20 13/15
Second:
11 3/5 + 2 1/3 =
Common factor of 3 and 5 is 15
11 9/15 + 2 5/15 = 13 14/15
20 13/15 - 13 14/15 = 7 13/15 - 14/15 = 7 - 1/15 = 6 14/15
