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

a park is shaped like a rectangle with a length 11 times its width w. what is a simplified expression for the distance between o

garik1379 [7]

Width = w
length = 11w
Pythagoras theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Let's say the width is a, the length is b, and the distance between corners (call it d) is c
w^2 + 11w^2 = d^2
Collect like terms,
12w^2 = d^2
Simply
12w = d

Work out the value of (1.7 × 10⁴) × (8.5 × 10^-2) give your answer in standard form

kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10^4 = 10000

1.7 × 10^4 = 1.7 × 10000

= 17000

10^-2 = 1/10^2= 1/100

8.5 × 10^-2 = 8.5 × 1/100

= 17/200

Final answer = 17000 × 17 / 200

= 1445

URGENT WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! 50 POINTS!<br> Find the value of x so that f(x) = 3.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. f(x) basically means y. So f(x) = 3 translates to y=3.

2. At y=3, you can see it meets at x=2.

At the circus, a clown is shot from a cannon. This situation can be modeled by the function: h = – 16t2 + 45t + 15, where 'h' is

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The maximum height is 46.64 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the derivative of h whit respect to t and equal this to zero we would find the value of t which corresponds to the maximum h.

So, we have the function h(t):

$h(t)=-16t^{2} + 45t + 15$

Taking the derivative, we have:

$\frac{dh(t)}{dt}=-32t + 45=0$

Now, we solve it for t:

$t=\frac{45}{32}=1.4\: s$

Finally, we put this value of t into the original equation.

$h(t)=-16(1.4)^{2} + 45(1.4) + 15$

$h_{max}=46.64\: ft$

Therefore, the maximum height is 46.64 feet. All the given options are wrong, the one that comes closest is option A.

I hope it helps you!
