The soccer team collected $800 at a car wash fundraiser. They charged $5.00 for small vehicles and $10.00 for larger vehicles. T

he amount collected can be modeled by the equation 5x + 10y = 800, where x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles. If the number of larger vehicles washed was 50, how many small vehicles were washed in total?

Answer:

The total number of small vehicles washed was 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

The soccer team generated $800 by charging $5 for small vehicles and $10 for large ones.

This amount is represented by the equation

5x + 10y = 800

where x = Number of small vehicles

y = Number of large vehicles

Assuming y = 5, we are to find how many small vehicles were washed.

Substituting y = 50 into the equation gives us:

5x + 10(50) = 800

5x + 500 = 800

5x = 800 - 500

5x = 300

x = \frac{300}{5}

x equals 60

Thus, the total number of small vehicles washed is 60.

Insert 50 for y and solve for x.

5x + 10 (50) = 800
5x + 500 = 800
5x = 800 - 500
5x = 300
x = 300 ÷ 5
x = 60

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

Let the train's speed be denoted as x km/h.

Scenario 1:

Distance = 288 km

Speed = x km/h

Time = Distance divided by Speed

= 288/x hours

Scenario 2:

Distance = 288 km

Speed = (x + 4) km/h

Time = 288/(x + 4) hours

As 288/x is greater than 288/(x + 4)

288/x - 288/(x + 4) = 1

288[1/x - 1/(x + 4)] = 1

[x + 4 - x] / [x(x + 4)] = 1/288

[4 / (x^2 + 4x)] = 1/288

x² + 4x = 1152

x² + 4x - 1152 = 0

x² + 36x - 32x - 1152 = 0

x(x + 36) - 32(x + 36) = 0

(x + 36)(x - 32) = 0

x + 36 = 0, x - 32 = 0

x = -36, x = 32

x = -36 is not valid as speed cannot be negative.

Conclusively, the train's speed = 32 km/h
