4x+12=16
4x=4
x=1
or
-(4x+12)=16
-4x-12=16
-4x=28
x=-7
answer Choice C is correct
Nine I believe, because fifth teen divided by five equals three
three times three equals nine.
Answer:
32 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the total distance be x miles
Marks speed= 16miles per hour
Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour
Trisha has covered 8 miles and has (x-8) miles to finish line
We know that
Speed= distance/time
time= distance/speed
Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is
time= x/16---------------1
The time taken for Trisha to finish is
time= (x-8)/12-----------2
equate 1 and 2 above
x/16= (x-8)/12
cross multiply
16(x-8)= 12*x
16x-128= 12x
collect like terms
16x-12x= 128
4x=128
x= 128/4
x= 32 miles
Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way
The answer should be C, 21. I’ll attach a picture for explanation.
