The answer is x=6/11.
Tiger Algebra is a really good tool for algebra if you need some help.
Hope that helped! :)
This is an example of the quotient of powers property and tells us that when you divide powers with the same base you just have to subtract the exponents. When you raise a quotient to a power you raise both the numerator and the denominator to the power. When you raise a number to a zero power you'll always get 1.
Answer:
After 900 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
when we convert the velocities of the ships into miles/ min we get


The equations determining the distances of the ships from the port M (set at x=0) are
(for 45mph ship)
(for 36mph ship)
The solution to these equation lie at t= 900 minutes; therefore the two ships will meet 900 minutes after the departure of the first ship.
