Question

Andrew and Katherine rode their bikes and met at a park.

Answer 1

Answer:

10 min = 1/6 hour

Now we make Andrew's average speed v mph so Katherine's average speed is (v-2) mph

a. 8/v - 5/v-2 = 1/6  [distance = speed x time]

b. 8/v - 5/v-2 = 1/6 , v > 2

   8/v - 5/v-2 = 1/6 = 0

48(v-2) -30v-v-(v-2)/6v(v-2) = 0 [transform the expression]

20v-96-v^2/6v(v-2) = 0

20v-96-v^2 = 0

(v-8)(v-12) = 0

{v1=8}

{v2=12}
