Answer:

16.364 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Claire = 6 miles per hour

Speed of Megan= 5 miles per hour

Distance from camp site to out post = 18 miles

Time for Claire to travel=18/6= 3 hours

Time for Megan to travel = 18/5 = 3.6 hours

The time they meet will be equal

Claire distance= 18 + x

Megan distance = 18-x

Claire time =( 18+x)/6

Megan Tim =( 18-x)/5

(18+x)/6 =(18-x)/5

5(18+x)= 6(18-x)

90 +5x = 108-6x

11x=18

X=18/11

X=1.636 Miles

So the distance from the Outpost to where they meet = 18-1.636

= 16.364 miles

netineya [11]

Answer:

  1. t = -5/2
  2. -21

Step-by-step explanation:

3t - 7 = 5t

~Subtract 3t to both sides

-7 = 2t

~Divide 2 to both sides

-7/2 = t

~Find 6t with what we found for t

6(-7/2)

-21

Best of Luck!
