Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
a
x+2=7x-3
x+7x=3-2
8×= 1
×=8
b
13y+25=8y+5
13y+8y= 25+5
21y=30
y= 30-21
y=11
2(4x - 9) =
2 * 4x - 2 * 9 =
8x - 18

Let’s call the speed of the slower car S, then the speed of the other is S+10mph.
At 5pm they have been travelling for 3 hours. The slower car travels a distance 3S and the faster one 3(S+10).
But the two distances must add up to 240 miles so 3S+3(S+10)=240, 3S+3S+30=240, 6S=210, S=35 mph. The faster car’s speed is 45mph. We can see that 3S is the same distance as 3x, so x=S=35 mph, and the distance the faster car travels is 3×45=135 miles.
