Answer: Tiffany 15mph, Maggie 20mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equation 4((x+5) + x) = 140. x+5 represents how many miles Maggie covered in one hour. x represents how much Tiffany traveled in one hour. 140 is the number of miles in total. 4 is the number of hours in total.
Simplify the equation.
(x+5) + x = 35 Divide both sides by 4
2x+5 = 35 Combine like terms
2x = 30 Subtract 5 from both sides
x = 15 Divide both sides by 2
Tiffany traveled 15mph, while Maggie traveled 15+5=20mph.
Answer:
44
Step-by-step explanation:
6x +22 + 7x + 16 = 90
13x +38 =90
13x = 52
x = 4
7 x 4 +16 = 44
If she can drive 4180 miles in <em>two </em>weeks, it would make sense that she would drive an average of <em>half </em>that distance in <em>one </em>week. Half of 4180 is 2090, so she averaged 2090 miles each week.
55. If it says 12 more, you add 12 to 43 to get 55.
