In 1 minute, I walk = 1/30

In 1 minute, My brother walk = 1/40

In T minutes, I walk = T*1/30

My brother walk 8 minute before = T + 8

In 1 minute, My brother walk = (T + 8)*1/40

When these two distances are same, then I will catch him.

T*(1/30) = (T + 8)*(1/40)

30*(T + 8) = 40*T

30*T + 240 = 40*T

240 = 10*T

T = 24 minutes

hence, I will catch him in 24 minutes.

Take 5 instead of 8.

My brother walk 5 minute before = T + 5

In 1 minute, My brother walk = (T + 5)*1/40

When these two distances are same, then I will catch him.

T*(1/30) = (T + 5)*(1/40)

30*(T + 5) = 40*T

30*T + 150 = 40*T

150 = 10*T

T = 15 minutes

Hence, I will catch him in 15 minutes.

Solve the equation: 4 - 5(3- 2x) = -2x + 1
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 5(3- 2x) = -2x + 1

Distribute

4 - 15 +10x = -2x+1

Combine like terms

-11 +10x = -2x+1

Add 2x to each side

-11+10x+2x = -2x+2x +1

-11+12x = 1

Add 11 to each side

-11 +11 + 12x = 11+1

12x = 12

Divide each side by

12x/12 = 12/12

x = 1
