Multiply both sides by -5/3.
X= 6 times -5/3
X= -10
Leah is baking a cake. The cake needs 1 2/8 of flour and 4 6/8 of sugar. Add the ingredients together. The answer is 4
C:x, in the bottom equation
We will say that the eastbound cyclist is going x mph. This means that the westbound cyclist is going x+3 mph.
They are both cycling for 6 hours and end up 162 miles apart.
Distance=rate*time
6x+6(x+3)=162
6x+6x+18+162
12x=144
x=12
So, the eastbound cyclist is going 12 mph.
Remember the westbound cyclist is going 3 mph faster, so s/he is going 15 mph.
Hope this helps!!
