The time it takes for an object/person to cover a certain distance is calculated by dividing the distance by the speed.

a. For the first question, the equation would become,

     t = 17/v + 12/(v - 2)

b. To answer, this we simply have to substitute 5 to the v of the first equation,

    t = 17/5 + 12/(5 - 2)

    t = 7.4 hours

<em>Answer: 7.4 hours</em>

HELP PLEASE<br> Solve for x:<br><br> x - 8 = 3x - 2<br><br><br> -3<br><br> -2<br><br> 3<br><br> 1
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

You add the eight to both sides, leaving x on the left and making the -2 a 6 on the right.

Now you have x= 3x-6

Add the six to the right, giving you 6+x=3x

Subtract the x from the left and right. you get 6=2x

Divide 6 by 2 to get x.
