Two trucks leave a warehouse at the same time, traveling in opposite directions. The rate of the faster truck exceeds that of the slower truck by 2 miles per hour. After 5 hours, they are 315 miles apart. What are the rates of the trucks?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the slower truck travels x miles in 5 hours.

the faster truck travels x + 5×2 = x + 10 miles in 5 hours.

so,

x + x + 10 = 315 miles

2x = 305 miles

x = 152.5 miles (in 5 hours)

therefore, the slower truck's speed was 30.5 mph.

the faster truck's speed was 30.5 + 2 = 32.5 mph.

6[y-2]/7-12=2[y-7]/3

Answers

Answer:

y =47.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by the LCM of 7 and 3 which is 21:

21* 6[y-2]/7-21*12 = 21*2[y-7]/3

18(y - 2) - 252 = 14(y - 7)

18y -36 - 252 = 14y - 98

18y - 14y = -98 + 36 + 252

4y = 190

y = 190/4

y = 47.5.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,1) and has a
slope of 1?

Answers

Answer:

y = x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the slope is 1, the original equation is y = mx + b, with m being 1.

Now substitute -6 and 1 for x and y and solve for b

1 = 1(-6) + b

1 = -6 + b

7 = b

Put it all together:

y = x + 7

I have two bags of marbles, each of which contains some red marbles and some blue marbles (and no marbles of any other color). The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in the first bag is $3:5.$ The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in the second bag is $3:2.$ When the two bags of marbles are mixed together, the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is $11:9.$ What is the ratio of the number of marbles in the first bag to the number of marbles in the second bag?

Answers

Answer is  2:7

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

Explanation:

Let x and y be two positive whole numbers. They may or may not be equal.

The first bag has the ratio of red to blue as 3:5, which scales up to 3x:5x after multiplying both parts by x. We have 3x red and 5x blue.

The second bag has the ratio 3:2 which scales up to 3y:2y. This bag has 3y red and 2y blue.

We can make a handy table to keep track of all the expressions

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\cline{1-3}\text{ } & \text{Red} & \text{Blue}\\ \cline{1-3}\text{bag 1} & 3x & 5x\\ \cline{1-3}\text{bag 2} & 3y & 2y\\ \cline{1-3}\end{array}[/tex]

Based on that, we can then say:

The two red quantities add to R = 3x+3yThe two blue quantities add to B = 5x+2y

Effectively, I added down along each column of that table.

Divide the two expressions for R and B to lead to the fraction 11/9, which is directly from the ratio 11:9

So,

(total red)/(total blue) = 11/9

R/B = 11/9

(3x+3y)/(5x+2y) = 11/9

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

Let's cross multiply and then solve for y

(3x+3y)/(5x+2y) = 11/9

9(3x+3y) = 11(5x+2y)

27x+27y = 55x+22y

27y-22y = 55x-27x

5y = 28x

y = 28x/5

y = (28/5)x

y = 5.6x

We'll keep this in mind for later.

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

Now let:

F = amount of marbles in the first bagS = amount of marbles in the second bag

Recall that we had 3x red and 5x blue for the first bag. That means we have 3x+5x = 8x marbles in the first bag. Therefore, F = 8x.

Also, we had 3y red and 2y blue for the second bag.

So we have S = 3y+2y = 5y

Then we can apply further substitution to say

S = 5y

S = 5(5.6x) .... plug in y = 5.6x

S = 28x

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

In short,

F = 8xS = 28x

for some positive whole number x. We don't have enough info to pin down what x is exactly; however, it doesn't really matter. This is because the x variable will cancel when dividing F over S

F/S = (8x)/(28x) = 8/28 = 2/7

The fraction 2/7 leads directly to the final answer of the ratio 2:7

In other words, the ratio 8x:28x simplifies fully to 2:7 after dividing both parts by 4x.

The ratio between the total marbles of the first bag and the second bag is 2:7.

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Example:

2x + 4 = 9 is an equation.

We have,

x marbles in the first bag.

red marbles = 3x

blue marbles = 5x

y marbles in the second bag.

red marbles = 3y

blue marbles = 2y

Now,

Total red marbles in both bags.

3x + 3y = 11 _____(1)

3x = 11 - 3y

x = (11 - 3y) / 3

Total blue marbles in both bags.

5x + 2y = 9 ______(2)

From (1) and (2) we get,

Multiply 2 in (1).

6x + 6y = 22

6y = 22 - 6x _____(3)

Multiply 3 in (2)

15x + 6y = 27 ______(4)

Putting (3) in (4)

15x + 22 - 6x = 27

9x = 27 - 22

9x = 5

x = 5/9

Now,

x = 5/9 in (3)

6y = 22 - 6(5/9)

6y = 22 - 10/3

6y = (66 - 10)/3

y = 56/18

y = 28/9

Now,

First bag.

Red marbles = 3x = 3 x 5/9 = 5/3

Blue marbles = 5x = 5 x 5/9 = 25/9

Total marbles = 5/3 + 25/9 = (15 + 25)/9 = 40/9

Second bag.

Red marbles = 3y = 3 x 28/9 = 28/3

Blue marbles = 2y = 2 x 28/9 = 56/9

Total marbles = 28/3 + 56/9 = (84 + 56)/9 = 140/9

Now,

The ratio between the total marbles of the first bag and the second bag.

= 40 :140

= 4:14

= 2:7

Thus,

The ratio is 2:7.

For x such that 0 < x < [tex]\frac{\pi}{2}[/tex], the mathematical expression is:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{1 \;-cos^2x} }{sinx} + \frac{\sqrt{1 \;-sin^2x} }{cosx} = 1+1=2[/tex]

Given the following data:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{1 \;-cos^2x} }{sinx}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{1 \;-sin^2x} }{cosx}[/tex]

In Trigonometry, you should take note of the following mathematical expression:

[tex]sin^2x + cos^2x = 1[/tex]

Therefore, we can obtain the following:

[tex]sin^2x = 1 - cos^2x[/tex]   ...equation 1.

[tex]cos^2x = 1 - sin^2x[/tex]    ...equation 2.

Substituting the equations respectively, we have:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{1 \;-cos^2x} }{sinx} + \frac{\sqrt{1 \;-sin^2x} }{cosx} = \frac{\sqrt{sin^2x} }{sinx} + \frac{\sqrt{cos^2x} }{cosx}\\\\[/tex]

Taking the square roots, we have:

Answers

Answer:

(7,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

(7, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 9 ( add y to both sides )

x = y + 9 → (1)

2x + 5y = 4 → (2)

Substitute x = y + 9 into (2)

2(y + 9) + 5y = 4 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

2y + 18 + 5y = 4

7y + 18 = 4 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

7y = - 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 into (1)

x = - 2 + 9 = 7

solution is (7, - 2 )
