Two trucks leave a warehouse at the same​ time, traveling in opposite directions. The rate of the faster truck exceeds that of the slower truck by miles per hour. After ​hours, they are miles apart. What are the rates of the​ trucks? Use the table below to organize your work

Speed of the slower truck = 57.5 miles/hour

Speed of the faster truck = 62.5 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Using missing information;

Assume;

Speed of the slower truck = a

Speed of the faster truck = a + 5

Distance traveled by the slower truck = d

Distance traveled by the faster truck = 600 - d

So,

a(5) = d Eq1

(a+5)(5) = 600 - d

5a + 25 = 600 - d

So,

5a + 25 = 600 - 5a

10a = 575

a = 57.5

Speed of the slower truck = 57.5 miles/hour

Speed of the faster truck = a + 5

Speed of the faster truck = 57.5 + 5

Speed of the faster truck = 62.5 miles/hour

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
