Answer:

David's average speed is 55 mph and Andrew's average speed is 70 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let David's speed be s.

Average speed is given as:

speed = distance / time

They both spent the same time, t.

David's speed is:

s = 110 / t

=> t = 110 / s

Andrew travels 15 mph faster than David.

Andrew's speed is:

(15 + s) = 140 / t

=> t = 140 / (15 + s)

Therefore, since they spent the same time:

110 / s = 140 / (15 + s)

Cross multiply:

110(15 + s) = 140s

1650 + 110s = 140s

1650 = 140s - 110s

30s = 1650

s = 1650 / 30

s = 55 mph

Andrew's speed is:

15 + 55 = 70 mph

Therefore, David's average speed is 55 mph and Andrew's average speed is 70 mph.

|2x-8| + 3 = 5 two solutions
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The two solutions are 5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a

Let us solve the question using this fact

∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3

∴ I2x - 8I = 2

By using the fact above

→ 1st solution

∵ 2x - 8 = 2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

∴ 2x = 10

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 5

→ 2nd solution

∵ 2x - 8 = -2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8

∴ 2x = 6

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 3

∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3
