The rate of Car A is x
The rate of Car B is x - 5
They travel the same distance. So we can make an equation:
4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
Solve for x.
4(x) = 4.5(x-5)
4x = 4.5x - 22.5
Subtract 4.5x on both sides
-0.5x = -22.5
Divide by -0.5 on both sides
x = 45
But we want the speed of Car B which is x - 5
So Car B's speed is 45 - 5 = 40
Your answer is 40
I believe you do it like this:
1/2 Q+5/2
divide 1/2 into each term
to divide multiply by the reciprocal
1/2 x2/1= 1
5/2 x 2/1=5
1/2(Q+5)

Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
7(4x+1)−3x=5x−13
Distribute
28x +7 -3x = 5x -13
Combine like terms
25x+7 = 5x-13
Subtract 5x from each side
25x-5x +7 = -13
20x +7 = -13
Subtract 7 from each side
20x+7-7 = -13-7
20x = -20
Divide by 20
20x/20 = -20/20
x = -1
The bill after applying the coupon = 31.84*(85%) = 27.064
so each of them will pay : 27.064/3 = $9.021
