Answer:
3) x = 9
4) x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3) The two short segments are indicated as having a sum equal to the long segment.
(x +2) +(-5 +x) = 15
2x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 3
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
(This makes the segments be 9+2 = 11 and -5+9 = 4, which total 15.)

4) Same deal.
3x +3 = 4x
3 = x . . . . . . . . subtract 3x
(This makes the segments be 3(3) = 9 and 4(3) = 12, where 9+3=12.)
Answer:
6/25 km in 1 min; or 0.24 km/min
Step-by-step explanation:
The info about Angel is not necessary.
Jayden runs 3 laps in 5 mins
Each lap is 2/5 km, so Jayden runs 3 x (2/5 km) in 5 min = 6/5 km in 5 min.
Distance = rate x time
6/5 km = rate (5 min)
We want to isolate r (rate), so divide both sides by 5 min
6/5 km ÷ 5 min = r
6/5 km (1/5 min) = r
6/25 km/min = r (notice how the units worked out correctly to km/min)
So, Jayden runs 6/25 km in 1 min.
