Answer:
Its upside down.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x= 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x−2(x+1)=
1
/4
5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)=
1
/4
(Distribute)
5x+−2x+−2=
1
/4
(5x+−2x)+(−2)=
1
/4
(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−2=
1
/4
3x−2=1
/4
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.
3x−2+2=
1
/4
+2
3x=
9
/4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x/
3
=
9
/4
/3
x=
3
/4
So, we know that it takes Sam 1 mph up and 9 mph down and it takes Liam both 2 mph down and up the hill. So if we divide the 2 mph for Liam by 2 miles (the whole length of the hill) we will get 1 or 1 hour. Then we do 1/1 (i don't know how to explain this part of why we do that, sorry) and than we do 1 / 9 and we get 1/9 so we add them and get 1 1/9 so that's Sam's time.
So, Liam took one hour and Sam took 1 and 1/9 hours, in conclusion liam was faster
