The answer to the equation is x=4.5
You first multiply 6 and 8 to see how many people are put in the vans without rented a van. This would equal 48. You then subtract 48 from 59 to see how many people still need to be in a van. This would leave you with 11 people. Then you divide 8 from 11 to get 1 3/8. This means you need 2 vans to fit everyone.
Answer: Chuck's travel at a rate of 52mph
Step-by-step explanation:
For Chuck's trip:
D=RT
104= (R+4)T
T= 104 / (R+4)
For Dana's trip:
96 = RT
T= 96/R
Set both equation for Chuck's and Dana together
104/(R+4) =96/R
Then we cross multiply
96(R+4) = 104R
96R + 384 = 104R
104R - 96R = 384
8R = 384
To get R, divide both side by 8
8R/8 = 384/8
R= 48mph
This means Dana's speed is 48mph
Chuck's speed will be: 48mph+4mph = 52mph
