Answer:

x = 816 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance traveled by Kirk = 450km

Distance traveled by Thor = 408 km

Let the average driving speed of Thor be x.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

k = x + 6

We know that the time taken to cover a distance by an object with speed is given by the formula;

Time = distance/speed

Substituting into the equation, we have;

408/x = 405/x + 6

Cross-multiplying, we have;

408*(x + 6) = 405*x

408x + 2448 = 405x

408x - 405x = 2448

3x = 2448

x = 2448/3

x = 816 kilometers per hour.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$2000

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she invested

lets assume this was for 1 year

0.09(x/2) + 0.07(x/2) = 160

multiply each side by 2 to cancel the denominators:

0.09x + 0.07x = 320

0.16x = 320

x = 2000
