We have been given two ratios and we are supposed to compare our ratios whether they are proportional or not.
1. We will reduce our fractions to compare our ratios. Let us simplify each of our given fractions.
Let us divide numerator and denominator with greatest common factor. We can see that 21 is GCF of our ratio.
Now we will simplify our second ratio.
GCF of our fraction is 32. Upon dividing our fraction by 32 we will get,
We can see that our both ratios are similar.
2. Now we will find decimal values of our fractions.
We can see that 
.
Therefore, we can say that our ratios are proportional.
Answer:
y = (x + 1)(x + 3)(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps you
x= -2
f (-2)= -2-7
f (-2)= -9
Since the problem is requesting the answer in minutes, we are going to convert the speed of Mr. Peter to miles per minutes; to do that, we are going to multiply his speed by the multiplier
:
Now, to find the distance from Boston to Worcester, we are going to use the distance formula:
where
is the distance
is the speed
is the time
We know that the speed of Mr. Peter is
and his time is 30 minutes. Lets replace those values in our formula:
Now, lets concentrate on Mr. Peter clone, Mr. P:
Lets convert the speed of Mr. P to miles per minute:
We also know that they will cover the same distance, 30 miles. Lets replace the values in our formula one more time to find t:
But since Mr. P <span>leaves 5 minutes after Mr. Peters, we need to add those 5 minutes to M. P's time:
</span>
We can conclude that Mr. P will arrive first, 5 minutes before Mr. Peter.
