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.

I am confused about how to explain this: Explain the difference in meaning between |-3| and -3.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|-3| means the absolute value of -3. The absolute value sign means the number without its negative. The dictionary says: the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign.

So |-3|= 3 and -3= -3

12. Solve the following system by any method. 2x – 6y = 24 –5x + 6y = –6
elena-s [515]
2x-6y=24
-5x+6y=-6

2x=24+6y
2x-24=6y
-5x+6y=-6
6y=5x-6
2x-24=5x-6
-24+6=5x-2x
-18=3x
-18/3=x
x=-6
2x-6y=24
2(-6)-6y=24
-12-6y=24
-6y=24+12
-6y=36
y=36/-6
y=-6

The solution to an equation is 21
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
An solution to an equation = 21 would be something like 2p + 7

if you wanna know how to solve this 
here is how:
<span>Simplifying 2p + 7 = 21 Reorder the terms: 7 + 2p = 21 Solving 7 + 2p = 21 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7' to each side of the equation. 7 + -7 + 2p = 21 + -7 Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0 0 + 2p = 21 + -7 2p = 21 + -7 Combine like terms: 21 + -7 = 14 2p = 14 Divide each side by '2'. p = 7 Simplifying p = 7</span>
