Nancy and Matilda will meet in 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance to cover = 60 miles

Speed of Matilda = 12 miles per hour

Speed of Nancy = 8 miles per hour

Combined speed of Nancy and Matilda = 8+12 = 20 miles per hour

Let,

x be the time taken by them

Distance = Speed * Time

60=20*x\\60=20x\\20x=60

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20x}{20}=\frac{60}{20}\\x=3

Nancy and Matilda will meet in 3 hours.

Keywords: distance, speed

stepladder [879]

Percy solved the equation by expanding the expression on the left-hand side, and this is incorrect

<h3>How to determine the true solution?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x^2 + 7x + 12 = 12

The first step in solving the equation is to equate the equation to 0.

i.e.

x^2 + 7x + 12 - 12 = 0

This given

x^2 + 7x = 0

From the question, Percy solved the equation by expanding the expression on the left-hand side

Hence, Percy's solution is incorrect
