First, we can simplify the left side. (6+8x)/2 is equal to 3 + 4x. We can put the equation together at this point.

3 + 4x = 5x

we can subtract 4x from both sides to get our final answer,

3 = x, or x = 3. :)

That's a copy of the figure from the other post; I didn't look at the answer.

We have Start(0,0)

$A(-16.55\cos 25, -16.55 \sin 25)$

$B=A+(5 \cos 53, 5 \sin 53)$

$C=B+(20,0)$

$C=(-16.55\cos 25 + 5 \cos 53+20, -16.55 \sin25 - 5 \sin 53)$

$C \approx (8.00968, -10.9875) \approx(8,-11)$

Your team takes the direct path at a constant speed of 6 miles per hour.

Our team. $T=\sqrt{8^2+11^2}/6 = 2.27 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Red follows the riddle and travels at 8 mph from Start to Post A, 9 mph from Post A to Post B, and 11 mph from Post B to Finish.

$T=16.55/8 + 5/9 + 20/11 = 4.44 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Blue follows the riddle and travels at a constant speed of 10 mph.

 $T=(16.55 + 5 + 20)/10 = 4.155 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Yellow follows the riddle and travels at a constant speed of 11 mph, but stops at Post A for 30 minutes and stops again at Post B for another 30 minutes.

$T=(16.55 + 5 + 20)/11 + 30/60 + 30/60=4.78 \textrm{ hours}$

Winner: our team, then Blue, then Red, then Yellow
