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.

Twice a number, added to seven, is the same
eduard

Answer:

Your number is -10

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

 

Twice a number is 2x

Added to 7 means + 7 so 2x + 7

Is means =

2x+7=

 

At this point I have to assume you mean

"is the same as three subtracted from THE SAME number"

Otherwise, rather than a number, we end up with the

equation of a line....

 

2x + 7 = x - 3   subtract x from both sides

x + 7 = -3        subtract 7 from both sides

x = -10

 

Your number is -10

 

Check:  2x+7 = x-3

           2(-10) + 7 = -10-3

           -20+7 = -13

            -13 = -13

            The answer fits the parameters of the problem.

What is the area of the shaded Region? (Answer to the Nearest Tenth)
RideAnS [48]

Shaded area = Circle area - Rectangle area

Shaded area = 3.14 × (4)^2 - 5 × 6

Shaded area = 3.14 × 16 - 30

Shaded area = 50.24 - 30

Shaded area = 20.24

Shaded area = 20.2

Write 28/20 and 70/50 as fractions in simplest form. then determine whether the ratios form a proportion.
jeyben [28]
28/20 in simplest form is: 7/5
70/50 in simplest form is 5/7
Because,
28/20 divided by 2 is 14/10, divided by 2 again is: 7/5
70/50 divided by 2 is 25/35, divided by 2 again is: 5/7
