Malcolm and Ravi raced each other. The average of their maximum speeds was 260\text{ km/h}260 km/h260, space, k, m, slash, h. If

doubled, Malcolm's maximum speed would be 80\text{ km/h}80 km/h80, space, k, m, slash, h more than Ravi's maximum speed. What were Malcolm's and Ravi's maximum speeds?

Let m and r represent the maximum speeds of Malcolm and Ravi in km/h, respectively.

... (m + r)/2 = 260 . . . . . the average of their speeds was 260 kph

... 2m = r + 80 . . . . . . . . double Malcolm's speed is 80 kph more than Ravi's

The second equation can be solved for r and that expression substituted into the first equation.

... 2m - 80 = r . . . . . . . . . . . an expression for r from the second equation

... (m + 2m - 80)/2 = 260 . . . the result of substituting that into the first

... 3m - 80 = 520 . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

... m = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 80 and divide by 3

... 2·200 - 80 = r = 320 . . .substitute the value of m into the expression for r

Malcolm's maximum speed was 200 km/h.

Ravi's maximum speed was 320 km/h.

4.6(x - 3) = -0.4x + 16.2
kolbaska11 [484]

Hey!

-----------------------------------------------

Steps To Solve:

4.6(x - 3) = -0.4x + 16.2

~Distributive property

4.6x - 13.8 = -0.4x + 16.2

~Add 0.4 to both sides

4.6x - 13.8 + 0.4= -0.4x + 16.2 + 0.4

~Simplify

5x - 13.8 = 16.2

~Add 13.8 to both sides

5x - 13.8 + 13.8 = 16.2 + 13.8

~Simplify

5x = 30

Divide 5 to both sides

5x/5 = 30/5

~Simplify

x = 6

-----------------------------------------------

Answer:

\large\boxed{x~=~6}

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4 (4x +5) + 13
S_A_V [24]
Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13

(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)

-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0

There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.

(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
