Answer:
32 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the total distance be x miles
Marks speed= 16miles per hour
Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour
Trisha has covered 8 miles and has (x-8) miles to finish line
We know that
Speed= distance/time
time= distance/speed
Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is
time= x/16---------------1
The time taken for Trisha to finish is
time= (x-8)/12-----------2
equate 1 and 2 above
x/16= (x-8)/12
cross multiply
16(x-8)= 12*x
16x-128= 12x
collect like terms
16x-12x= 128
4x=128
x= 128/4
x= 32 miles
Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way

can you be more specific? give a problem
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>P - 3 1/6 = -2 1/2
3 1/6- 21/2
p=2/3 </span>
Answer:
11x + 8 +8x +12 =27 (drop the parenthesis, there's no actual need for them)
19x +20 =27 (i combined like terms and then subtracted 20 from both sides)
19x = 7 (divide both sides by 19 to get x alone)
x= 7/19 or 0.36842105 (the answer)
