To see how they are related, let us solve the two equations.
FIRST EQUATION



SECOND EQUATION



Hence the solutions to the two equations are ADDITIVE INVERSE of each other.
Divide 3/4 by 1/8 and you should get 6 hurdles.
Answer:
yes they are not equal because (x + a) = 2x + 2a
By hypothesis, Deon is riding at a speed of 22.4 kilometers per hour. So each hour, he completes 22.4 km.
If he rides for 7 hours, he completes 22.4 * 7 = 156.8 km
So in 7 hours, he rides 156.8 kilometers.
Hope this helps! :)
