<span>A freight train completes its journey of 150 miles 1 hour earlier if its original speed is increased by 5 miles/hour. What is the train’s original speed?
***
let x=original speed
x+5=increased speed
travel time=distance/speed
..
lcd:x(x+5)
150(x+5)-150x=x(x+5)
150x+750-150x=x^2+5x
x^2+5x-750=0
(x-25)(x+30)=0
x=25
What is the train’s original speed? 25 mph</span>
Answer:
Yes he has enough fence to go round the flower bed.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 yard = 3 feet
25 feet = 25/3 = 8.33 yards

I'm going to assume you meant to write fractions (because if
are all non-negative integers, the series would clearly diverge), so that



and so on.
a. If the pattern continues as above, we would have the general term

b. Note that we can write
as

The series diverges by comparison to the divergent series

-4x = -5x - 9
9 = x
