Sarah and Jim leave a train station at the same time traveling 20mi/h faster that Jim’s train. After 3 hours the were 270 miles apart how fast was each train going

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

speed of Jim's train = 35 mi/h

speed of Sarah's train = 35 +20 mi/h = 55 mi/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Jim's train be x mi/h

Given, Sarah and Jim leave a train station at the same time traveling 20mi/h faster that Jim’s train.

speed of Sarah's train = x + 20 mi/h

we know distance = speed * time

time = 3 hours

distance traveled by Sarah's train = 3*(x+20) = 3x+60 miles

distance traveled by Jim's train = 3*x =  3x miles

It is not given that if trains are moving in same or opposite direction.

__________________________________

if they are travelling in same direction

Then, then distance between them = total distance traveled by

faster train -  total distance traveled by

slower train = 3x +60 -3x = 60 miles

which is wrong as the two trains are 270 miles apart

hence, they are travelling in opposite direction

In this case

distance between them = total distance traveled by

faster train +  total distance traveled by

slower train = 3x +60 + 3x = 6x + 60 miles

given that the trains are 270 miles apart

6x + 60 miles = 270 miles

6x = 270 - 60 = 210

x = 210/6 = 35

Thus, speed of Jim's train = 35 mi/h

speed of Sarah's train = 35 +20 mi/h = 55 mi/hour

Dany scored 93 in physics, 88 in mathematics, and a score in chemistry that is double his score in geography. The average score of all 4 courses is 79. What were his scores in chemistry and geography?
Linda scored a total of 265 point

Answers

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Dany's score in geography. His score in chemistry is double his score in geography and it is equal to

2 x

The average of all four scores is 79. Hence

(93 + 88 + x + 2 x) / 4 = 79

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

4×(93 + 88 + x + 2 x) / 4 = 4×79

Simplify

93 + 88 + x + 2 x = 316

Group like terms

3 x + 181 = 316

Solve for x

3 x = 135

3 x / 3 = 135 / 3

x = 45

score in geography = x = 45

score in chemistry = 2 x = 2 × 45 = 90

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{Chem = 90 \ marks , Geo = 45 \ marks}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the score of geography be x

=> Then, the score of chemistry will be 2x

So, the given condition is:

[tex]Average = \frac{Sum \ of \ values}{No. \ of \ values}[/tex]

=> [tex]79 = \frac{93+88+x+2x}{4}[/tex]

=> [tex]79 = \frac{181+3x}{4}[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 4

=> [tex]79 * 4 = 181+3x[/tex]

=> 316 = 181 + 3x

Subtracting 181 to both sides

=> 316-181 = 3x

=> 135 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3

=> 45 = x

OR

=> x = 45

So,

Chemistry = 45 * 2 = 90 marks

Geography = 45 marks

i need the answer to 6x - 9x+ 7= -1

Answers

Answer:

x = -8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So first let's simplify the expression. Grouping together like terms gives:

-3x + 7 = -1

Subtracting 7 from both sides gives

-3x = -8

Meaning x = -8/3

Answer:

x = 8/3 or 2.67

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 9x + 7 = -1

6x - 9x = -3x

-3x + 7 = -1

       -7    -7

-3x = -8

/-3    /-3

x = 8/3 or 2.67

Find the equation that best represents the following word problem: In a certain freshman class, the number of girls is 83 less than twice the number of boys (b). The total number of students in that freshman class is 259. How many boys and girls are in that class?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]g = 2b-83[/tex]

[tex]b+g=259[/tex]

Number of boys = 114

Number of girls = 145

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys in the class = [tex]b[/tex]

Now, as per question statement,

Number of girls is 83 less than twice the number of boys.

Representing in the form of equation.

Let number of girls = [tex]g[/tex]

[tex]g = 2b-83 ....... (1)[/tex]

Also, given that total number of students in the class = 259

i.e. [tex]b+g=259[/tex]

Putting value of [tex]g[/tex] using equation (1):

[tex]\Rightarrow b+2b-83=259\\\Rightarrow 3b-83=259\\\Rightarrow 3b=259+83\\\Rightarrow 3b=342\\\Rightarrow \bold{b=114}[/tex]

So, number of boys, b = 114

Putting value of [tex]b[/tex] in equation (1) to find the value of [tex]g[/tex].

[tex]\Rightarrow g = 2(114)-83 \\\Rightarrow g = 228-83\\\Rightarrow \bold{g = 145}[/tex]

So, number of girls, g = 145.

Hence, the answer is:

Number of boys = 114

Number of girls = 145

Answers

Answer: Choice D.  g(x) = 3|x-3| - 6

======================================================

Explanation:

Points are of the form (x,y), where y = f(x) since y and f(x) are outputs.

When we vertically stretch by a factor of 3, we are making the function curve 3 times more stretched out along the vertical y axis. So a general point (x,y) becomes (x,3y). Whatever the y coordinate is, we multiply by 3 to get its stretched out counterpart.

Eg: (0,-2) on f(x) moves to (0,-6) which is on g(x)

-------------

Since y = f(x), and we're multiplying y by 3, we can say

f(x) = |x-3| - 2

3*f(x) = 3*( |x-3| - 2 )

3*f(x) = 3|x-3| + 3(-2)

3*f(x) = 3|x-3| - 6

g(x) = 3|x-3| - 6

Stretch the graph of f(x) = x + 3 vertically by a factor of 2

What is the sum of all values of k such that the equation 2x^2-kx+8=0 has two distinct integer solutions?

Answers

Answer:

k > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We know in order for a quadratic equation to have 2 distinct solutions the discriminant has to be positive

Important formula: Discriminant = [tex]b^{2}-4ac[/tex]

Step 2: Input information into discriminant

[tex]b^{2}-4ac[/tex] > 0

[tex]k^{2}-4(2)(8)[/tex] > 0

[tex]k^{2}-64[/tex] > 0

[tex]k^{2}[/tex] > 64

[tex]\sqrt{ k^{2}}>\sqrt{64}[/tex]

k > 8

Therefore in order for the equation to have 2 distinct solutions is to have k > 8

(b²-4ac) > 0

where Z is an integer

(-k)²-4(2)(8) > 0

k²-64 > 0

k²>64

k>8

Therefore the sum of all values of k is infinite

Which of the following statements are true about segments in a plane? Choose all that apply.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option are;

Every segment has one perpendicular bisector

Every segment has infinitely many congruent segments

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Every segment in a plane has exactly one perpendicular bisector

2) A congruent segment is a segment of equal length as a given segment, given that there can be infinitely many planes that can contain collinear points, whereby two points define a segment, the number of congruent segments that can be formed on infinitely many planes will therefore, be infinite.

Also given that the number of possible segments is infinite, the number of segments of a given size and therefore, the number of possible congruent segments is infinite.

Given that (y+z), (y+3) and (2y^2-1) are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression. Find the possible values of y

Answers

Answer:

This problem actually says:

(y + 2), (y + 3) and (2*y^2 - 1) are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression.

Now, the difference between two consecutive terms in an arithmetic progression is always the same, so we have:

(y + 3) - (y +2) = D

(2*y^2 - 1) - (y + 3) = D

From the first equation we have:

y + 3 - y - 2 = 1  = D

Now we can replace it in the other equation:

2*y^2 - 1 - y - 3 = 1

2*y^2 - y - 5 = 0

Now we need to solve that equation to find the possible values of y.

To solve a quadratic equation of the form:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0, we can use the Bhaskara's equation:

[tex]y = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 -4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]

in this case, the solutions are:

[tex]y = \frac{1 +-\sqrt[]{(-1)^2 - 4*2*(-5)} }{2*2} = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{61} }{4} = \frac{1+-6.4}{4}[/tex]

Then the possible values of y are:

y = (1 + 6.4)/4 = 1.85

y = (1 - 6.4)/5 = -1.35

This is a summary of Mia's pay stub: Gross Pay: $56.00 State Tax Withholding: $1.60 Social Security Tax: $2.35 Federal Tax Withholding: $3.68 Medicare Tax: $.81 Savings Deposit: $35.00 Charity Donation: $1.00 What percent of Mia's gross pay goes for taxes?

Answers

Answer: 15.07%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Gross Pay: $56

State Tax Withholding: $1.60

Social Security Tax: $2.35

Federal Tax Withholding: $3.68

Medicare Tax: $.81 .00

Total tax = (State Tax Withholding + Social Security Tax + Federal Tax Withholding + Medicare Tax)

= $(1.60+ 2.35+3.68+0.81)

= $8.44

So, the percent of Mia's gross pay goes for taxes = (Total tax ) ÷ (Gross (pay) × 100

=(8.44 )÷ (56) × 100

= 15.07%

Hence, the percent of Mia's gross pay goes for taxes is 15.07%.

Answer:

Area of the rectangle is 63 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The perimeter of a rectangle is 32 cm.The width is 7 cm.

To find :-

The area of the rectangle.

Solution :-

Consider,

Length of the rectangle = x cm

width = 7 cm

Formula used :-

[tex]{\boxed{\sf{Perimeter of rectangle=2(Length+breadth)}}}[/tex]

According to the question ,

2(x+7) = 32

→ x+7 = 32/2

→ x +7 = 16

→ x = 16-7

→ x = 9

★ Length = 9 cm

Area of the rectangle ,

= length × Breadth

= 9 × 7 cm²

= 63 cm²

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 63 cm².
