It took 70 minutes for James to finish and 84 minutes for Lucas to finish and James was faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Climbing rate of James = 3 mph

Running back rate of James = 4 mph

Climbing rate of Lucas = 2 mph

Running back rate = 5 mph

Total distance = 2 miles

We know that;

Distance = Speed * Time

As we have to find, we will rearrange the formula in terms of time

Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

Time took by James for climbing = \frac{2}{3}\ hours

Time took for running back = \frac{2}{4}\ hours

Total time = \frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{4}=\frac{8+6}{12}=\frac{14}{12}

Total time taken by James = \frac{7}{6}\ hours

1 hour = 60

Total time taken by James = \frac{7}{6}*60=70\ minutes

Time took by Lucas for climbing = \frac{2}{2}=\ 1\ hour

Time took by Lucas for climbing = 60 minutes

Time took on return = \frac{2}{5} of\ an\ hour=\frac{2}{5}*60=24\ minutes

Total time taken by Lucas = 60+24 = 84 minutes

Therefore,

It took 70 minutes for James to finish and 84 minutes for Lucas to finish and James was faster.

Hello : 
<span>If f(x)=x/2-2 and g(x)=2x^2+x-3, find (f+g)(x)
</span>(f+g)(x)= f(x) +g(x) = x/2-2  +2x²+x-3 = x/2 +2x²+x-5
(f+g)(x)= (x+4x²-2x-10) /2
(f+g)(x)= (4x²+3x-10)/2 = 2x²+3/2 x -5
