Two automobiles start together from the same place and travel along the same route. The first averages 40 miles per hour and the second 55 miles per hour. How many miles further along the route is the second car at the end of 5 hours

the second car is 75 miles longer than the first car for 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know the distance each one traveled in 5 hours

the first one travels 40 miles in one hour

1 h = 40 mi

1h * 5 = 40mi * 5

5h = 200 mi

the second one travels 55 miles in one hour

1 h = 55 mi

1h * 5 = 55mi * 5

5h = 275 mi

so the first one traveled 200 miles and the second 275 miles

if 275 we have 200 left, we will get how many more miles the second car made in 5 hours

275mi - 200mi = 75mi

the second car is 75 miles further along the route.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = speed × time

The two automobiles start together from the same place and travel along the same route. The first averages 40 miles per hour. After 5 hours, the distance travelled by the first automobile is

40 × 5 = 200 miles

The second automobile averages 55 miles per hour. After 5 hours, the distance travelled by the second automobile is

55 × 5 = 275 miles

The difference in the distance travelled by both automobiles after 5 hours is

275 - 200 = 75 miles

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
