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.

X² + mx + 14            

If (x+2) one of the factors, we can write

14 = 2*7
m = 2+7= 9

x² +9x + 14 = (x+2)(x+7)

A teacher is making a history test composed of the same number of multiple-choice questions as short-answer questions. She estim
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The inequality is 5.5n \leq 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time:

The total time to complete the test is the sum of the number of multiple-choice questions multiplied by the time it takes to solve each and the number of short-answer questions multiply by the time it takes to solve each.

In this question:

Same number(n) of both.

Multiple-choice takes 2 minutes, short-answer takes 3.5 minutes. The total time is given by:

T = 2n + 3.5n = 5.5n

Write an inequality to determine how many questions, n, the teacher can include if the test must take students less than 45 minutes to complete.?

This means that:

T \leq 45

So

5.5n \leq 45

The inequality is 5.5n \leq 45
