Anyone sees the problem? I can’t see it.
-3x + 18 = 7x
3x + (-3x) + 18= 7x + 3x
18 = 10x
18 10x
— = —
10 10
1.8 = x
The cars travel at a 21MPH difference, so if we divide 460 by 21, we get 21.9
Answer: 21.9 hours
Change the fractions so they have common denominators. For example. If adding 4/8 + 2/3, a common denominator of the two could be 24. Change both fractions to have a denominator of 24. To do this:
(4/8)×(3/3)= 12/24
(2/3)×(8/8)=16/24
Now that both fractions have denominators of 24, you can simply add the numerators to get your answer. in this case, it would be 28/24
