Answer:
Amy is (21.6 - 14.4) 7.2 km/hr faster than Bill.
Distance = speed / time
Amy's speed
40 minutes = 40/60 = 2/3 hours
14.4 = speed / 2/3
Speed = 14.4 * 3/2 = 21.6 km/ hr
Bill speed
60 minutes = 1 hour
Speed = 14.4 km / hr.
1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x

D
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 < -3 (I think so anyway)
