Question 94

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-During rush hours, substantial traffic congestion is encountered at the intersections shown in the figure. The arrows indicate one-way streets. As the figure shows, 500 cars per hour come down P Street to intersection A, and 200 cars per hour come down 5th Street to intersection A. x of these cars leave A on P Street and w cars leave A on 5th Street.
 Solve the problem. -During rush hours, substantial traffic congestion is encountered at the intersections shown in the figure. The arrows indicate one-way streets. As the figure shows, 500 cars per hour come down P Street to intersection A, and 200 cars per hour come down 5th Street to intersection A. x of these cars leave A on P Street and w cars leave A on 5th Street.   The number of cars entering intersection A must equal the number leaving, so that  x+w=200+500  or  x+w=700 . By writing an equation representing the traffic entering and leaving each of the intersections A, B, C, and D, obtain a system of four equations. Solve the system using  \mathrm{w}  as the parameter. A)   (200-w, 600+w, 1700-w, w)   B)   (700-w, w-100,1700-w, w)   C)   (700-\mathrm{w}, 100+\mathrm{w}, 1700-\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{w})   D)   (700-\mathrm{w}, 600+\mathrm{w}, 800-\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{w}) The number of cars entering intersection A must equal the number leaving, so that x+w=200+500x+w=200+500 or x+w=700x+w=700 . By writing an equation representing the traffic entering and leaving each of the intersections A, B, C, and D, obtain a system of four equations. Solve the system using w\mathrm{w} as the parameter.


A) (200w,600+w,1700w,w) (200-w, 600+w, 1700-w, w)
B) (700w,w100,1700w,w) (700-w, w-100,1700-w, w)
C) (700w,100+w,1700w,w) (700-\mathrm{w}, 100+\mathrm{w}, 1700-\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{w})
D) (700w,600+w,800w,w) (700-\mathrm{w}, 600+\mathrm{w}, 800-\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{w})
