Answer:

The speed of Dave is 42 miles per hour

The speed of Kent is 46 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Dave = d = 210 miles

The time taken by Dave = t hour

The speed of Dave = s miph

<u>Again</u>

The distance cover by Kent = D = 230 miles

The time taken by Kent = T hour

The speed of Kent = S = (s + 4 ) miph

<u>For Dave</u>

Time = \dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}

So, t = \dfrac{\textrm d miles}{\textrm s miph}

Or, t = \dfrac{\textrm 210 miles}{\textrm s miph}

<u>For Kent</u>

Time = \dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}

So, T = \dfrac{\textrm D miles}{\textrm S miph}

Or, T = \dfrac{\textrm 230 miles}{\textrm (s + 4) miph}

∵ Time taken by both is same

So, t = T

Or,  \dfrac{\textrm 210 miles}{\textrm s miph} = \dfrac{\textrm 230 miles}{\textrm (s + 4) miph}

Or, 210 × (s + 4) = 230 × s

Or, 210 × s + 210 × 4 = 230 × s

Or, 210 × 4 = 230 × s -210 × s

Or, 210 × 4 = 20 × s

∴  s = \dfrac{840}{20}

i.e s = 42 miph

So, The speed of Dave = s = 42 miles per hour

Again

The speed of Kent = S = (s + 4 ) miph

i.e S = 42 + 4

or, S = 46 miph

So, The speed of Kent = S = 46 miles per hour

Hence,The speed of Dave is 42 miles per hour

And The speed of Kent is 46 miles per hour . Answer

rodikova [14]

Answer: -4

Work: So, to get -4, we need to simplify the equation. If you see any equation with +(- that's subtraction. So, with the rule, this equation is basically 8-12, and that's -4.
