If they meet after 8 hours, then the sum of their average speeds is 600/8=75 km per hour.  If one is 5 km per hour faster than the other, then if we set the speed of the slower man to x, we have:

2x+5=75

So:

2x=70

x=30

The fastest man is 5 km per hour faster than the slower, so he travels 35 km per hour.

Write an equality that represents eight less that three times a number is more than 22​
leonid [27]

Answer:

3x - 8 > 22

Step-by-step explanation:

" eight less" means to subract 8 form something.  If you had 10 apples and I took some so now you had 8 less apples, you'd have 10 - 8 = 2 apples

"three times a number" means 3x.  3 times some number.

The expression 3x - 8 means "8 less than 3 times a number"

"is" is math is a statement of equality, either an equals sign or an inequality needs to go here.

Our inequality is

3x - 8 > 22
