In the question, it is already given that the total number of runners in the race is 60 and out of them 1/3 dropped out in the first half. In the second half 1/4 of the remaining runners dropped out.
Now
Total number of runners in the race = 60
Number of runners that dropped out in the first half = 1/3 * 60
                                                                                   = 20
Number of runners remaining = 60 - 20
                                                 = 40
Number of runners dropping out in the second half = 40 * 1/4
                                                                                 = 10
Then the number of runners that finished the race = 40 - 10
                                                                                 = 30
Then 30 runners completed the race.

1/3 60 = 20 : 40 runners left : 1/4 40 = 10 : 30 runners left

4(1-x) + 2x = -3( x + 1)
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

x = -7

Solution:

4(1-x) + 2x = -3( x + 1)

4(1 - x) + 2x = -3 (x + 1)

4(-x + 1) + 2x = -3 (x + 1)

-4x - 4 + 2x = -3(x + 1)

-2x + 4 = -3 (x + 1)
