Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover while running = D_1 = 5 miles

Let The speed for running = S_1

The distance cover with bike = D_2 = 80 miles

The speed for biking = S_2 = 15 mph +  S_1

Total Time taken = 5 hours

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

∴ 5 hour = \frac{D_1}{S_1} +  \frac{D_2}{S_2}

Or,  5 hour = \frac{5}{S_1} +  \frac{80}{15+S_1}

Or, 5 hour = \frac{75 + 5 S_1 + 80 S_1}{S_1(15+S_1)}

or,  5 × (S_1^{2}+15 S_1) = 85 S_1 + 75

Or, 5 S_1^{2} + 75 S_1 -  85 S_1 - 75 = 0

or, 5 S_1^{2} -10 S_1 - 75 = 0

or,   S_1^{2} -2 S_1 - 15 = 0

Or, S_1^{2} -3 S_1 + 5 S_1- 15 = 0

Or, S_1 (S_1 - 3) + 5 (S_1 - 3) = 0

Or, (S_1 - 3) ( S_1 + 5 ) = 0

∴ S_1 = 3 , - 5

So, the running speed = 3 mile per hour

And the biking speed = 15 mph + 3 mph = 18 mile per hour

Hence The running speed of Stu is 3 mile per hour  .  Answer

Simplify<br> (3/2x+5) + (5/x-5)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

(3x + 10) / (2x + 5)(x - 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/2x+5) + (5/x-5)

= [3(x - 5) + 5(2x + 5) ] /  [ (2x + 5)(x - 5)]

= 3x - 15 + 10x + 25 /  (2x + 5)(x - 5)

= 13x + 10 / (2x + 5)(x - 5).
