Answer:

Very similar to solving an equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the properties of equality to "undo" each number and isolate the letter to one side.

How ever, if you are multiplying or dividing by a negative number, then the inequality must be reversed.

Micah walks on a treadmill at 4 miles per hour. He has walked 2 miles

lana66690 [7]

<span>Let time taken by Luke to cover the distance = x hours Speed of Luke = 6 miles per hour Therefore, Distance covered by Luke = 6x ------(1) Speed of Micah = 4 miles per hour Since Micah walked 2 miles before Luke started running, Luke started 1/2 an hour after Micah started. Therefore time taken by Micah to cover the distance = x+1/2 Distance covered by Micah = 4(x + 1/2) -------(2) Equating (1) and (2) 6x = 4(x+1/2) 6x = 4x +2 2x = 2 x= 1 Therefore Luke would take 1 hour to cover the distance covered by Micah.</span>
