Answer:

D: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the rate of the faster jogger

Therefore (x-2) mph is the rate of the slower jogger

After 3 hours faster jogger will be 3x miles from the starting point

Whereas after the 3 hours slower jogger will be 3(x-2) miles from the starting point but in the opposite direction.

Since they are 30 miles apart 3x+3(x-2)=30

3x+3x-6=30

⇒ 3x+3x=30 +6

⇒ 6x=36

⇒ x=6

Therefore the rate of the faster jogger = 6 mph

For what value does x does 3^2x= g^3x-4<br> A)1<br> B)2<br> C)3<br> D)4
netineya [11]
The question has an error because the letter g does not make sense in the context.

I will assume that the g is really the number 9.

In that case, the equation to solve would be:

3^{2x} =  9^{3x-4}

You can solve for x following these steps:

1) make      9=3^2

=>

3^{2x} = 3^{2(3x-4)}

2) Given that the basis are equal the exponents have to be equal =>

2x = 2(3x - 4)

3) Solve:

2x = 6x - 8

6x - 2x = 8

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2 which is the option B) which leads me to think that a 9 instead of g in the equation should be right.

Under that assumption, the answer is the option B) x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)         y1 = 1  x1 = 2     m = -1/3

y - 1 = -1/3(x - 2)

  y  = -x/3 + 2/3
