Answer:

Train A = 128

Train B = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations for this problem

Let A = # of tons of Train A

Let B = # of tons of Train B

A + B = 196

A = B + 60

Now, we plug in A for the first equation, using substitution

(B+60) + B = 196

2B + 60 = 196

Subtract 60 from both sides

2B = 136

Divide both sides by 2

B = 68

Plug in 68 for B in the 2nd equation

A = 68 + 60

A = 128

Checking work: 128 + 68 = 196 :D hope this helped

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=x^{2}(y-1)\\\frac{1}{y-1} \text{ } dy=x^{2} \text{ } dx\\\int \frac{1}{y-1} \text{ } dy=\int x^{2} \text{ } dx\\\ln|y-1|=\frac{x^{3}}{3}+C\\$

From the initial condition,

$\ln|3-1|=\frac{0^{3}}{3}+C\\\ln 2=C$

So we have that $\ln |y-1|=\frac{x^{3}}{3}+\ln 2\\e^{\frac{x^{3}}{3}+\ln 2}=y-1\\2e^{\frac{x^{3}}{3}}=y-1\\y=2e^{\frac{x^{3}}{3}}+1$
