Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
(2x-1)(2x-1)
(4x^2+2x+1)(2x-1)
(2x-1) cancels out so
2x-1
4^2+2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:
Alyssa takes part in the triathlon. She cycles 4/5 of the route, runs 1/8 of the route, and swims the rest of the way. She swims 0.9 miles. Find the total distance of the triathlon route.
Total distance Alyssa cycled and ran =

=
Distance she swam = 1 - 37/40 = 3/40
3/40 of the distance is 0.9
the total distance = 40/3 x 0.9 = 12 miles
