Tobin rows 2 miles per hour faster than her opponent. If it takes Tobin 30 minutes to finish a race, and it takes her opponent 4

5 minutes to finish the same race, how fast does Tobin row? PS: I know this question was asked before, but the answers didn't have explanations I fully understood. Thanks

If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as 
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour

Evaluate each expression<br><br> g5-h3 if g=2 and h=7
vovangra [49]
Look at it this way:
g=2
H=7
so it would be 2*5-7*3
than just do the multiplication first so 2*5=10 and 7*3=21 than subtract the two 10-21=-11
