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

<h3>Isolate y on both equations then equate </h3>

  • x²-3x+2y=-4
  • 2y=-x²+3x-4
  • y=-x²/2+3/2x-2

Now you can equate it with second one to get x

8(t+2)-3(t-4)=6(t-7)+8 i dont understand this is 5.111111 correct?
Kay [80]
<span>8(t + 2) - 3(t - 4) = 6(t - 7) + 8

To solve this equation, first apply the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property is defined as a(b + c) = ab + ac. We'll need to apply it three times for this equation.

    8(t + 2)  =>  8t + 16
    -3(t - 4)  =>  -3t + 12
     6(t - 7)  =>  6t - 42

This gives us

    </span>8(t + 2) - 3(t - 4) = 6(t - 7) + 8
    8t + 16 - 3t + 12 = 6t - 42 + 8

Next, combine like terms (constants with constants and variable terms with variable terms).

    8t + 16 - 3t + 12 = 6t - 42 + 8
                  5t + 28 = 6t - 34

Now we need to get all constants on one side and all variable terms on the other side. Begin doing so by first subtracting 28 from both sides.

    5t + 28 = 6t - 34
            5t = 6t - 62

Subtract 6t from both sides.

    5t = 6t - 62
     -t = -62

Divide both sides by -1.

    t = 62

Answer:
t = 62
