Ben's age in x yeears=30+x
daniel's age in x years is 2+x

when will ben's age in x years be 3 times of daniel's age in x years
30+x=3(2+x)
30+x=6+3x
minus x both sides
30=6+2x
minus 6 both sides
24=2x
divide by 2 both sides
12=x

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The number of meters Robert will beat Sam is 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60-meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters. Suppose Robert and Sam continue to race to the finish line without changing their rates of speed.

Find:

the number of meters by which Robert will beat Sam

Step 1 of 1

When Paul finishes, Robert has run 60-10=50 meters and Sam has run 60-20=40 meters.

Therefore, when Robert and Sam run for the same amount of time, Sam covers $\frac{40}{50}=\frac{4}{5}$ of the distance that Robert covers. So, while Robert runs the final 10 meters of the race, Sam runs $\frac{4}{5} \cdot 10=8$ meters.

This means Robert's lead over Sam increases by 2 more meters, and he beats Sam by 10+2=12 meters.

Which weight more 2 pounds of bricks or 2 pounds of feathers?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Two pounds is two pounds. It is a trick question making you focus more on the material, rather than the main point at hand. TWO pounds is TWO pounds, regardless of material.
