Let:

Vj = Speed of jane

Vm = Speed of mike

d = distance

t = time

Jane travels 7 mph less than 2 times as fast as Mike, therefore:

Vj = 2Vm - 7

Remeber:

distance = speed*time

Distance traveled by mike:

d=Vm*t = Vm*6

Distance traveled by jane:

d + 198 = Vj*6

where:

Vj = 2Vm - 7

d + 198 = (2Vm-7)*6

Now, let:

d=Vm*6 (1)

d + 198 = (2Vm-7)*6 (2)

Replace (1) into (2)

6Vm + 198 = 12Vm - 42

Subtract 6Vm from both sides:

6Vm + 198 - 6Vm = 12Vm - 42 - 6Vm

198 = 6Vm - 42

Add 42 to both sides:

198 + 42 = 6Vm - 42 + 42

240 = 6Vm

Divide both sides by 6:

240/6 = 6Vm/6

40 = Vm

Vm = 40mph

Replace Vm into this equation Vj = 2Vm - 7 :

Vj = 2(40) - 7 = 80 - 7 = 73mph

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

q=6

Step-by-step explanation:

A root can be plugged in for X, so 2(2)-5(2)+q=0. This means -6+q=0. We can now even them out and know q=6
