Since you have the answers given, just track their walking.
After one hour, one guy has covered 3mi and the other 4mi, which is in total 7, not 14
After 2 hours, one guy has covered 6mi and the other 8mi, which is 14mi

The algebraic way would be:
3x +4x = 14 *x being the hour
7x = 14
x =2

Hello I’m new here ! But I’m having trouble understanding how my teacher factored out the A from a-a(1.2^4)? And made it to A(1-
Hitman42 [59]

This is the distributive property:

<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)

In this case, you have

<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)

and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as

<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)

a jet flying at an altitude of 30000 ft passes over a small plane flying at 15000 feet headed in the same direction the jets fly
Sholpan [36]

The jet has gained on the small plane at the rate of 10 miles per minute, so is flying 600 miles per hour faster. (There are 60 minutes in an hour.)

Since the jet is flying twice as fast as the smaller plane, the small plane's speed is the same as the difference in speed: 600 mph.

The jet's speed is double that, 1200 mph.

  • small plane: 600 mph
  • jet: 1200 mph

What solution is this w = 10
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

w = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

9(w - 9) -2 = -7 + 7(w -8)

Expand:

9w - 81 - 2 = -7 + 7w - 56

Rearrange:

9w - 7w = -7 - 56 + 81 + 2

2w = 20

w = 10
