It takes \frac{4}{5} hours or 48 minutes before they meet if their houses are 4 miles apart

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "t" be the number of hours it will take them to meet

Walking speed of Fred = 3 miles per hour

Walking speed of John = 2 miles per hour

Distance between their house = 4 miles

<em><u>Distance is given by formula:</u></em>

Distance = speed x time

Fred distance = walking speed of Fred x time taken

Fred distance = 3t

John distance = walking speed of John x time taken

John distance = 2t

Therefore,

3t + 2t = 4

5t = 4

t = \frac{4}{5} hours

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore,

\frac{4}{5} \text{ hours } = \frac{4}{5} \times 60 \text{ minutes } = 48 minutes

Thus it takes \frac{4}{5} hours or 48 minutes before they meet

<h3>Answer:</h3>

C. 4(x-3)-x

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

All of the given expressions are equivalent to 3x+12 except selection C. Using that in your equation makes it be ...

... 3(x +1) +9 = 4(x -3) -x

... 3x +12 = 3x -12

... 12 = -12 . . . . . <em>false</em>

There is no value of x that will make this true, hence NO SOLUTION.

_____

<em>Comment on the other choices</em>

3x+12 = 3x+12 has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>, as <u><em>any</em></u> value of x will make this true.
