The thing you have to figure out about this is the distance for each person and the time it takes for the biker to meet the runner. The rates we are told. The formula is distance = rate times time. Let's do that for the runner first. His rate is 6 so the formula so far is d = 6t. Now let's work on the time. If the biker left an hour later than the runner, then the runner has been running an hour more than the biker. Therefore, the runner's time is t + 1. Hold off on the distance part til we do for the biker what we just did for the runner. The biker's rate is 14, and we already decided that his time is t. His equation is d = 14t. Now at the exact moment the biker meets the runner their distances are the same. So if the equation for the runner is d = 6t + 6 and the equation for the biker is d = 14t and their distances are the same, by the transitive property, their rates and times are the same as well, meaning we set them equal to each other and solve for t. 6t + 6 = 14t. 6 = 8t and t = 3/4. This means that it took 45 minutes for the biker to meet the runner.
Answer:
1/2 (x+5) = 36 should be the equation that is used to determine how many rocks George started with.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be the number of rocks George had.
As George gave, after getting 5 new rocks, half of his rock collection to Susan which is = 36 rocks
It means after getting 5 new rocks George's total rocks = 72
Given that he gave half collection to Susan = 36
Thus, before inducting 5 new rocks Georg's total rocks were = 67
Thus,
1/2 (x+5) = 36 should be the correct equation.
solving
1/2 (x+5) = 36
Multiplying both sides by 2
1/2 (x+5) × 2 = 36 × 2
x+5 = 72
x = 72 - 5
x = 67
Thus, before getting 5 new rocks, the number of rocks George had = 67
Therefore,
1/2 (x+5) = 36 should be the equation that is used to determine how many rocks George started with.
