Answer: Train A = 50 mph; Train B = 30 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, let's call the speed of both trains as:
Va: speed of train A
Vb: speed of train B
As train A is faster than train B, let's call speed of train B as X; So if Vb is X, then Va would be:
Vb = X
Va = X + 20
If we combine both Speed, we have:
V = Va + Vb = X + X + 20 = 2X + 20
Now that we have an expression for the combined speed, let's recall the formula for speed in general:
V = d/t
Where:
d: distance = 240 miles
t: time = 3 hours
Combining all the data we have:
V = 240/3
but V is 2X + 20 so:
2X + 20 = 240/3
Solving for X:
2X + 20 = 80
2X = 80 - 20
2X = 60
X = 60/2
X = Vb = 30 mph
Now that we know speed of one train, we can know the speed of the other train:
Va = 30 + 20 = 50 mph
Answer:
5 miles per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
20/4 = 5miles
5 miles / minute
I would describe the constant rate of change but where is the question for the picture please apply the picture or the questions I can answer thank you have a nice day
Answer:
The number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount is <u>50 miles</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represents the number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount. Therefore, we can have the following equation:
RC = 25 + 0.14x ....................... (1)
BC = 23 + 0.18x ...................... (2)
Where;
RC = Total cost of Rent-Me Rent-A-Car
BC = Total cost of Better Deal Rental Car
The the cost of the two companies equal where RC = BC. Therefore, we equate equations (1) and (2) and solve for x as follows:
25 + 0.14x = 23 + 0.18x
25 - 23 = 0.18x - 0.14x
2 = 0.04x
x = 2 / 0.04
x = 50
Therefore, the number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount is <u>50 miles</u>.
<u>Note:</u>
This can be confirmed for equations (1) and (2) individually by substituting for x = 50 as follows:
For equation (1):
RC = 25 + 0.14(50)
RC = 25 + 7
RC = 32
For equation (2):
BC = 23 + 0.18(50)
BC = 23 + 9
BC = 32
Therefore, RC = BC = 32 confirms the answer.
