Answer:x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve
10(x+1)=56-2(x-1)
Open the brackets
10x+10=56-2x+2
Collect like terms
10x+2x=56-10+2
12x=48
Divide through by 12
x=4
You could rewrite

as

and be tempted to cancel out the factors of

. But this cancellation is only valid when

.
When

, you end up with the indeterminate form

, which is why

is not a zero.
It is C.
First, you have to do the problem in the (), so 3*4 = (12). 12 - 2 is 10. Next, you do the other () which is 5 + 7 which is 12. 12 + 10 = 22
They would meet after 4 hours, as 65 x 4 = 260. And 60 x 4 = 240. If you add these, they become a value of 500. This also answers the 2nd question ; 65x + 60x = 500.
