The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.

The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.

The speed ratio is ...

... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1

so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...

... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.

Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

75x + -300 = 25x + 200

Reorder the terms:

-300 + 75x = 25x + 200

Reorder the terms:

-300 + 75x = 200 + 25x

Solving

-300 + 75x = 200 + 25x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-25x' to each side of the equation.

-300 + 75x + -25x = 200 + 25x + -25x

Combine like terms: 75x + -25x = 50x

-300 + 50x = 200 + 25x + -25x

Combine like terms: 25x + -25x = 0

-300 + 50x = 200 + 0

-300 + 50x = 200

Add '300' to each side of the equation.

-300 + 300 + 50x = 200 + 300

Combine like terms: -300 + 300 = 0

0 + 50x = 200 + 300

50x = 200 + 300

Combine like terms: 200 + 300 = 500

50x = 500

Divide each side by '50'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10
