The factor will result to answer which is D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
d1 = d
d2 = 75 - d
r1 = x
r2 = x + 7
t = 3
Equation
x*t + (x + 7)*t = 75
This equation represents the total distance travelled. Neither one of the cyclists have gone 75 miles, but they both have gone distances that equal a total of 75 miles.
Solution
3x + (x + 7)*3 = 75
3x + 3x + 21 = 75
6x + 21 = 75
6x = 54
6x/6 = 54/6
x = 9
Answer
The first cyclist is going 9 miles / hr
The second cyclist is going 16 miles / hour
The formula for the cost of the total sales is: 8a+5c where a is the number of adult tickets and c is the number of child tickers.
If he keeps 15% the formula is: 0.15(<span>8a+5c) </span>
This equation is NEVER true. Let's solve the equations algebraically by applying the Distributive Property of Multiplication and transposing the terms across the equality sign. The solution is as follows:
<span>2(5x+4)=10x+6
10x + 8 = 10x + 6
10x - 10x = 6 - 8
0 = -2
Therefore, it is not true.</span>
