The only way to have two numbers that are the same and add up to be 15
is if they're both 7.5 , but those don't multiply to be 36. So I guess there's
no answer that satisfies all the conditions of this question.
multiply 6 x 6 to get 36 and 7 x 11 to get 77.
6/7 x 6/11 = 36/77
X - Linda's speed
(x+8 )- Colleen's speed
8x - Linda's distance for 8 h
8(x+8) = 8x+64 - Colleen's distance for 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176 - distance between Colleen and Linda after 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176
16x +64 = 176
16x = 176 - 64
16x = 112
x= 7 mph Linda's speed
x+8 = 7+8 = 15 mph Colleen's speed
It will be as cold as -12 degrees Fahrenheit
(That’s pretty cold....)
That’s because 5 - 17= -12
Hope this helps :)
