Let the slower runners speed be X kilometers per hour.

Then the faster runners speed would be X+2 kilometers per hour.


The formula for distance is Speed times time.

The distance is given as 30 kilometers and time is given as 3 hours.


Since there are two runners you need to add the both of them together.

The equation becomes 30 = 3x + 3(x+2)

Now solve for x:

30 = 3x + 3(x+2)

Simplify:

30 = 3x + 3x +6

30 = 6x + 6

Subtract 6 from each side:

24 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 24/6

x = 4


The slower runner ran at 4 kilometers per hour.

The faster runner ran at 4+2 = 6 kilometers per hour.

Which of the following represents the polynomial 5x + 3x^4 + 15 − 7x3 in standard form, the degree of the polynomial, and the nu
kkurt [141]
A polynomial is written correctly when the exponents are listed in order from highest to lowest.  The highest exponent then dictates the degree of the whole polynomial.  The first choice above is written in standard form from highest degree to lowest.   Doesn't matter that we might skip the x-squared term or any other x-term, as long as they're in order from highest to lowest.  The degree on that first polynomial, the one you're after, is 4 because that's the highest exponent, and there are 4 terms there.  Terms are "bunches" of numbers and variables stuck together by multiplication and separated by + or - signs.
