Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)

Nancy walked 516 yards in 6 minutes and then another 368 yards in 4 minutes. What was Nancy's average speed? * A. 89 yd/min B. 8
Rina8888 [55]
Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the whole distance)
 
Total distance = (516 + 368) = 884 yards
Total time  = (6 + 4) = 10 minutes  

Average speed = (884 yards) / (10 minutes)

Average speed = 88.4 yards/minute  (C)


Other ways to write the same speed:

-- 4.42 feet/second
-- 265.2 feet/minute
-- 53.04 inches/second
-- 5,304 yards/hour
-- 3.014 mph (rounded)
-- 810.07 furlong/fortnight
