Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels 14 miles per hour slower than the westbound train. If the two trains are 400 miles apart after 2 hours, what is the rate of the eastbound train?

Rate of the Eastbound train is 93 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the Eastbound train = x miles per hour

And the speed of the West bound train = y mph

Eastbound train travels 14 mph slower than the westbound train,

So the equation will be,

y - x = 14 (1)

If these trains are 400 miles apart after 2 hours,

Distance traveled by the Eastbound train = Speed × Time

                                                              = 2x miles

Distance traveled by the Westbound train = 2y miles

Trains are 400 miles apart after 2 hours,

So the equation will be,

2y + 2x = 400

x + y = 200 (2)

By adding equation (1) and equation (2)

(y - x) + (x + y) = 14 + 200

2y = 214

y = 107 mph

From equation (1)

107 - x = 14

x = 107 - 14

x = 93 mph

Therefore, rate of the Eastbound train is 93 mph.

hope this : )

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
