Answer:

The competition took 12.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Achilles to complete the competition is h hours.

Now, Achilles runs at a speed of 13 mph while the Turtle moves at a speed of 1 mph.

So, the competition was 13h miles long.

Now, Turtle will take h hours to complete h miles of the competition.

Now, given that (13h - h) = 2.5

⇒ 12h = 2.5

⇒ h = 0.208 hours.

⇒ h = 12.5 minutes.

Therefore, the competition took 12.5 minutes. (Answer)

1. -5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 5x + 10 - x - 2 = 50, that is

- 6x + 8 = 50 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 6x = 42 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = - 7
