They are equal so...
15x+2 = 9x+20
15x-9x = 20-2
6x =18
x = 18/6 = 3
x = 3
Answer:
C. 7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time for the trip out be represented by t. Then the time for the return trip is t-1. The distance was the same for both trips, so we have ...
distance = speed × time
300t = 350(t -1)
300t = 350t -350 . . . . eliminate parentheses
350 = 50t . . . . . . . . . . add 350-300t
7 = t . . . . . . divide by 50
The trip out took 7 hours.
I believe it should be 5.3487 since 283% is converted into 2.83 and multiplied by 1.89.
2 3/5 or 2 6/10 is the answer
