Section 5.6 Solve the following word problems
6. Number problem. If one-half of one integer is subtracted from three-fifths of the next consecutive integer the difference is 3. What are the two integers?
Solution: Assuming the first integer is .
Then, the equation to be solved is .
The first integer is 24 and the next integer is 25.
18. A passenger train can travel 325mi in the same time a freight train takes to travel 200mi. If the speed of the passenger train is 25 mi/h faster than the speed of the freight train, fin the speed of each.
Solution: Assuming the speed of the freight train is .
Then, the equation to be solved is .
Then, the speed of the freight train is 40 mi/h and the passenger train is 65 mi/h.
22. Ariana took 2 h longer to drive 360mi on the first day of a trip than she took to drive 270 mi on the second day. If her speed was the same on both days, what was the driving time each day?
Solution: Assuming the speed of the driving time for the second day is .
Then, the equation to be solved is .
Then, on the first day the driving time is 8 h and the second day is 6 h.
26. A plane flies 720 mi against a steady 30-mi/h headwind and then returns to the same point with the wind. If the entire trip takes 10 h, what is the plane’s speed in still air?
Solution: Assuming the speed is .
Then, the equation to be solved is .
From the quadratic formula:
The speed must be positive. Then, the speed is 150 mi/h.
34. Kevin earned $165 interest for 1 year on an investment of $1500. At the same rate, what amount of interest would be earned by an investment of $2500?
Solution: Assuming the earned interest by an investment of 2500 is .
Then, the equation to be solved is .
Kevin earned $275 interest if he invests $2500.
