Factories both equations:
5(x - 4) / (x + 2)(x - 4)
Then take out the common brackets:
5 / x + 2
Minus 2 from both sides:
3 / x
If you are looking for the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator, the answer would be (x - 4)
Answer:
163 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
set up a ratio based on 49 miles in 1 hour (60 minutes):
let 'd' = distance in 3hrs, 20 min
3hrs, 20 min = 200 minutes
49/60 = d/200
cross-multiply:
60d = 9800
d = 163.3
96+80= (100-4)+(100-20)
= 200-24
=174
