Answer:

the rate of each train is 139 km/h and 159 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

let

v = the rate of the slower train

v + 20 = the rate of the faster train

d = 1490 km the distance that the two train will travel

t = 5 hr the time of the travel

since speed = distance/time => distance = speed*time

v*t + (v+20)t = d

5v + 5(v + 20) = 1490

5v+5(v+20)=1490

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5v+5(v+20)=1490

5v+(5)(v)+(5)(20)=1490(Distribute)

5v+5v+100=1490

(5v+5v)+(100)=1490(Combine Like Terms)

10v+100=1490

10v+100=1490

Step 2: Subtract 100 from both sides.

10v+100−100=1490−100

10v=1390

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.

10v/10 = 1390/10

v = 139km/h

Next

we add 139 to 20

139 + 20 = 159 km/h

the rate of each train is 139 km/h and 159 km/h.

Which graph represents an exponential function?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

(You never showed the graphs we were suppose to choose from)

The graphs of all exponential functions have these characteristics. They all contain the point (0, 1), because a0 = 1. The x-axis is always an asymptote. They are decreasing if 0 < a < 1, and increasing if 1 < a.

The length of a rectangular deck is 4 times its width if the decks perimeter is 30 ft, what is the decks area
omeli [17]

Answer:

The area of the rectangular deck is 36 sq feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the deck  =  k ft

So, the length of the deck = (4k) ft

Now, perimeter = 30 ft

PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE =  2(LENGTH + WIDTH)

⇒2( k + 4k)  = 30

or, 2 x 5k = 30   ⇒  10k = 30

⇒ k = 30/10 = 3

So, the width of the deck = k  = 3 ft

Length of the deck = 4k = 3 x 4  = 12 ft

Now, AREA OF A RECTANGLE =  LENGTH X WIDTH

So, the area of the rectangular deck = 3 ft x 12 ft

                                                             = 36 sq feet

Hence, the area of the rectangular deck is 36 sq feet.
