Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the total charges be y and the number of hours be x

Company A charges

$60 reservation fee plus another $15 per hour.

so

y=60+15x----------1

Company B charges

$25 reservation fee plus another $20 per hour

y=25+20x------------2

Step two:

equate the 2 expressions above we have

60+15x=25+20x

collect like terms

60-25=20x-15x

35=5x

divide both sides by 5

x= 35/5

x= 7 hours

Wade and Alexandra are 240 feet apart when they start walking toward one another. Alexandra walks twice as fast as Wade so whene
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The initial distance between Wade and Alexandra is 240ft.

They walk towards each other.

Alexandra walks twice as fast as Wade.

Now, because they are walking towards each other, when the distance walked by both of them equals 240 ft, they will meet.

Then:

if Wade walks z ft, Alexandra walks 2*z ft.

So we have the equation:

Distance that Wade walked + Distance that Alexandra walked = 240ft

z + 2*z = 240ft

3*z = 240ft

z = 240ft/3 = 80ft

They will meet when Wade walks 80ft.

Subtract: 4x/x^2-25 - 2/x^2+2x-15
Alex777 [14]

Answer: \dfrac{4x^2-14x+10}{(x-5)(x+5)(x-3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Subtract the expression

\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x}{x^2-25}-\dfrac{2}{x^2+2x-15}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x}{(x-5)(x+5)}-\dfrac{2}{x^2+5x-3x-15}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x}{(x-5)(x+5)}-\dfrac{2}{(x+5)(x-3)}\\\\\text{Take the LCM and subtract}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x(x-3)-2(x-5)}{(x-5)(x+5)(x-3)}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x^2-12x-2x+10}{(x-5)(x+5)(x-3)}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x^2-14x+10}{(x-5)(x+5)(x-3)}
