<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

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

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph

An art club sells 42 large candles and 56 small candle price of large candle is $10 the cost is $x a small candles cost $5 and c
balandron [24]

Answer:

Profit = $(700 - 42x - 56y)

Step-by-step explanation:

For large candles, the selling price is $10 and its making cost is $x.

So, by selling a large candle the profit is $(10 - x)

Again for small candles, the selling price is $5 and its making cost is $y.

So, by selling a small candle the profit is $(5 - y)

Therefore, in a sell of 42 large candles and 56 small candles the total profit will be, P = 42 (10 - x) + 56 (5 - y)

⇒ P = 420 - 42x + 280 - 56y {Applying distributive property}

⇒ P = $(700 - 42x - 56y) (Answer)

Follow the steps to solve this equation. 3(2x + 6) – 4x = 2(5x – 2) + 6 1. Use the distributive property: 6x + 18 – 4x = 10x – 4
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x=2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation 3(2x+6)-4x=2(5x-2)+6. We are supposed to solve our given equation step by step.

Step 1: Use the distributive property.

3\cdot 2x+3\cdot 6-4x=2\cdot 5x-2\cdot 2+6

6x+18-4x=10x-4+6

Step 2: Combine like terms.

6x-4x+18=10x-4+6

2x+18=10x+2

Step 3: Use subtraction property of equality:

2x-2x+18-2=10x-2x+2-2

16=8x

Step 4: Use the division property of equality:

\frac{16}{8}=\frac{8x}{8}

2=x

Therefore, the solution of our given equation is x=2.
