A bus travels at a speed of 40 miles per hour and reaches Hogville in 40 minutes. If a cab takes 35 minutes to reach the same spot, determine the speed at which it traveled.

45.7miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

40mins = 2/3 hour

the bus travelled (2/3 x 40) miles = 80/3 miles

the cab took 35 mins (which is 7/12 hour) so it's speed is (80/3)/(7/12) miles/hour = 45.714 miles/hour (5 s.f.)

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
