Using proportions, it is found that:
- Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
- MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.
---------------------------
- Peter is walking at a rate of x km/h.
- MJ is biking 6 km/h faster than Peter, thus 6 + x km/h.
- Opposite directions, thus, their distance increases at a rate of (6 + 2x) km each hour, as
.
6 + 2x km each hour, 18 km after 1.5 hours, thus, the rule of three is:
1h - (6 + 2x) km
1.5h - 18 km
Applying cross multiplication:
Then:
- Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
- MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.

Answer:
3.6+52.3= 55.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first we know that 55.50 is 25% so I guess multiply it by 3 to get the full price equalling nearly 166 which is closest to 165, so that’d be my answer. Sorry if wrong.
Answer:
5 yr and 39 yr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the younger
then 7x + 4 = the age of the older
Now x + 7x + 4 = 44
8x + 4 = 44
8x = 40
x = 5
7x + 4 = 7(5) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39
Check: 5 + 39 = 44
