Answer:
w=18
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of distance-time-speed
d = v × t
From the question above, we know that
⇒ The total of distance they travel is 195 miles, or it could be written as
d₁ + d₂ = 195 (equation 1)
⇒ The first person is 5 miles slower than the second person, or it could be written as
v₁ = v₂ - 5 (equation 2)
Substitute formula to equation 1
d₁ + d₂ = 195
(v₁ × t) + (v₂ × t) = 195
t(v₁ + v₂) = 195
substitute equation 2
t(v₁ + v₂) = 195
t(v₂ - 5 + v₂) = 195
t(2v₂ - 5) = 195
remember, t = 3 hours
3(2v₂ - 5) = 195
6v₂ - 15 = 195
6v₂ = 195 + 15
6v₂ = 210
v₂ = 210/6
v₂ = 35
v₁ = v₂ - 5
v₁ = 35 - 5
v₁ = 30
The rate of first person is 30 miles/hour, the rate of second person is 35 miles/hour
~Hello There!~
It would be 0.1. You would round up because the next number is '5 or above.'
Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
Have A Great Day ^_^
