Answer:

The speeds are 74 mph and 87 mph.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = speed of slower train

     x + 13 = speed of faster train

 

The trains meet when the sum of the distances = 483

 

3x + 3(x+13) = 483

 

6x + 39 = 483

 

6x = 444

 

 x = 74 mph

 

The speeds are 74 mph and 87 mph.

A TV that usually sells for $192.74 is on sale for 25% off. If sales tax on the TV is 5%, what is the price of the TV, including
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are saving 25%, you are still paying 75%, right?  So the cost of the TV with a discount of 25% is 192.74(.75) which is $144.56

That's the cost of the TV on sale.  Now we need to find the sales tax amount, if the sales tax is .05 as a decimal.  We are paying $144.56 for the TV, which is 100% of the cost.  On top of that, we are paying another 5%.  So altogether, for the TV, we are paying 105% of the TV.  Therefore,

144.56(1.05) = $151.79

Polygon ABCD has the following vertices: A(−3, 3), B(5, 5), C(5, −4), and D(−3, −4) Calculate the area of the polygon.
aniked [119]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. When you plot the given points, you obtain a trapezoid, therefore, you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid, which is:

A=\frac{(B+b)h}{2}

Where B is the larger base, b is the smaller base and h is the height.

2. The dimensions are:

B=9units\\ b=7units\\ h=8units

3. Substitute values:

\\A=\frac{(9 units+7units)(8units)}{2}  A=64 units^{2}

The answer is: 64 units^{2}
