First, set up variables for each runner to calculate the time:
x = faster runner
x + 0.5 = slower runner

Next, set up an equation:
9x = 6(x + 0.5)
9x = 6x + 3
3x = 3
x = 1

Since both of the runners are starting at the same place and running on the same trail, they will run the same distance. They both ran 1 mile.

Simplify the expression (2x − 9)(x + 6)
kenny6666 [7]

<u>Answer:  </u>

Simplified form of given expression (2x – 9 )( x + 6 )  is 2 \mathrm{x}^{2}+3 \mathrm{x}-54

<u> Solution: </u>

We need to simplify following expression.

(2x – 9) ( x + 6)  

For sake of simplicity lets first assume 2x – 9 = A

So expression becomes A(x+6)

= Ax + A6

Now replace A by 2x – 9

= (2x – 9 ) x + (2x – 9 ) 6

=2 \mathrm{x}^{2}-9 \mathrm{x}+12 \mathrm{x}-54

On simplification, we get

=2 \mathrm{x}^{2}+3 \mathrm{x}-54

Hence simplified form of given expression (2x – 9 )( x + 6 )  is = 2 \mathrm{x}^{2}+3 \mathrm{x}-54
