Answer:
32 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the total distance be x miles
Marks speed= 16miles per hour
Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour
Trisha has covered 8 miles and has (x-8) miles to finish line
We know that
Speed= distance/time
time= distance/speed
Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is
time= x/16---------------1
The time taken for Trisha to finish is
time= (x-8)/12-----------2
equate 1 and 2 above
x/16= (x-8)/12
cross multiply
16(x-8)= 12*x
16x-128= 12x
collect like terms
16x-12x= 128
4x=128
x= 128/4
x= 32 miles
Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way
Without LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24)
2x + 3 = 3x - 8
2x - 3x = -8 - 3
-x = - 11
x = 11
with LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24) ...multiply by 6
3(4x + 6) = 2(9x - 24)
12x + 18 = 18x - 48
12x - 18x = -48 - 18
-6x = - 66
x = -66/-6
x = 11
Yes, the answers are the same :)
Answer:
A multiplicative inverse of a real number x is a real number y such that xy = 1. ... ((NOT GOOGLING DEF))
Step-by-step explanation:
"For every real number x, if x 0, then there is a real number y such that xy = 1.”
To factor by grouping, you group up the 1st 2 terms together and the last 2 terms together and then factor those pieces.
(x^3 + x^2) + (x + 1)
x^2(x + 1) + 1(x +1) - now factor out the (x + 1)
(x + 1)(x^2 + 1) - final answer
