From the text of the task we can write the following equation:

\frac{2x}{5}+\frac{x}{3}=22\\
\\
Solving: multiplying \ all \ terms \ by \ 15:\\
\\
6x+5x=330\\
\\
11x=330\\
\\
x=\frac{330}{11}\\
\\
\boxed{x=30}

<u>2/5 x + 1/3 x = 22</u>

First of all, I've been answering so many of these things lately that I'm
getting really tired of 'x'.  Let's call the unknown number ' Q ' instead.

<u>2/5 Q + 1/3 Q = 22</u>

Multiply each side by 5 :

2Q + 5/3 Q = 110

Multiply each side by 3 :

6Q + 5Q = 330

Add the like terms on the left side:

11Q = 330

Divide each side by 11 :

<u>Q = 30</u> .

. One car traveled 210 miles and drove 20 mph hour faster than a second car drove 150 miles. If the cars were traveling for the
inn [45]

Answer:

The first car was traveling 70 mph, while the second was driving 50 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the cars as a proportion:

\frac{210}{x + 2}  =  \frac{150}{x}

X represents the speed of the second car. By cross multiplying, you get the following equation:

210x = 150(x + 20)

You solve by distributing 150 to get 210x = 150x + 3000.

Solving for x gets you 50.

That means the first car was going at 50 mph. Adding 20, you get 70 as the speed for the second car.
