Do these the easy way:
In 15 minutes, train A goes 15 miles (60 mph x 1/4 hour)
Train B gains on train A at 20 mph (80 - 60)
15 miles/20 mph = 3/4 hour = 45 minutes
9:25 + 45 = 10:10

---------------------
The cross-sectional area is 2*(4+2)/2 sq m, = 6 sq meters
The volume is the area time the length
Vol = 6*10000 = 60000 cubic meters


test/243368: I'm not sure that I'm asking this in the right section, but I'm not really sure where I would need to ask it anyways.
The answer is:
3p/2
The problem is this:
((2p-2)/p) * ((6p^2)/(8p*8))
I'm not sure how to get to that answer
and I think I don't have a clue on how to even start this one.
I started by put the 2 sides together
(2p-2)6p^2
----------
p(8p*8)

That's a good start
= %282p-2%29%2A6p%5E2%2F%2864p%5E2%29
Cancel the p^2 terms
= %282p-2%29%2A6%2F64
= 2%2A%28p-1%29%2A6%2F64
= 3(p-1)/16

solve by graphing:
x-y=2
x+y=-4
----------
Each eqn is a straight. 2 points is sufficient to plot a straight line.
x-y=2
x = y+2
Pick values for y and find x
y...x
0...2 --> (2,0)
4...6 --> (6,4)
Plot the 2 points and draw a line thru them.
-------------
x+y=-4
y = -x-4
x...y
0...-4 --> (0,-4)
4...0 ---> (4,0)
Draw a line thru the points.
Where they intersect is the solution.

Answer 178115 by Alan3354(30983) About Me  on 2009-11-27 21:45:07 (Show Source):

x+300,000+400,000+800,000=4 3/4x
------------
Add the numbers
x + 1,500,000 = (4 3/4)x I think that's what you mean.
Subtrace x from both sides
1,500,000 = (3 3/4)x
1,500,000 = 15x/4
Multiply both sides by 4
6,000,000 = 15x
Divide by 15
x = 400,000 (miles? kilometers?)

is the point 9,3 a solution of the equation y=5x+3
If you sub 9 for x, do you get 3?
y = 5*9 + 3 = 48

The point (9,48) is, not (9,3).

You only need 2 points for a straight line.
Pick a value for x and find y.
x = 0, y = 4
x = 4, y = 0

Suppose that the kicker for the chargers has a punt that can be modeled by h(t)=-2t^2+200, where its height from the ground can be found based on how many seconds (t) have passed since the kick. Given this how long will it take for the foot ball to hit the ground?

h(t)=-2t^2+200
--------------
At t = 0, the ball is 200 feet up?
I think it's
h(t)=-2t^2+200t
----------------
It hits the ground when h(t) = 0
h(t)=-2t^2+200t = 0
2t^2 = 200t
t = 0 (at the start)
t = 100 (at impact)
-------------------
No units were given. 100 seconds is a long time, but the gravity is weak. Maybe this is on Phobos or Diemos.
