Re: Compute the solution:

Hi bobbym,

The problem 293 is fairly difficult. Putting A = 9,  B = -9(a + b),  C =

,  it can be solved.

Re: Compute the solution:

Hi bobbym,

The the two solutions in 293 are correct!  Remarkable!

294.  Places A and B 100 kilometers apart on a highway.  One car starts from A and another from B at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other ,  they meet in 1 hour.  What are the speeds of the two cars?

Re: Compute the solution:

Hi bobbym,

The solution 296 (all three parts) is/are correct! Good work!

297. If twice  the area of a smaller square is subtracted from the area of a larger square, the result is 14 square centimeters. However, if twice the area of the larger square is added to three times the area of the smaller square, the result is 203 square centimeters. Determine the sides of the two squares.

302. A train travelled a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train had been 6 kilometers per hour faster, iit would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time.  If the train were slower by 6 kilometers per hour, then it would have taken 6 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the distance covered by the train.
