I'm terrible at math, so I'm sorry if I'm totally wrong, but I'm assuming you just take the average:
20+28=48m
48/2=24m
On average, it may take them 24m if they work together.
Try using a calculator i don't have one on me sorry :(
Answer:
x=6, x= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation
x^2 - x - 30 = 0 ----> (x-6)(x+5)=0
Next find the solution by setting those in the paranthesis equal to zero.
x-6=0 ----> x= 6
x+5=0 ----> x= -5
Well, it says translate the product of 40 and DISTANCE to the finish line right?
The answer would be 40d
D being the variable for Distance.
