From the equation given, the time for the black mamba snake to cover distance d, will be d/16 while that for the the rought-scaled snake would be d/1.5.
Assume that the distance covered by both snakes is 200 meters;
Then,
Time taken by the black mamba is 200/16 = 12.5 seconds, and
Time taken by the rought-scaled snake is 200/1.5 = 133.33 seconds
Clearly the black mamba is faster at 12.5 seconds compared with the rought-scaled snake.
We'll do the distribute property for both.
1/2x6x=3x
1/2x-10= -5
SO....
3x-5+ -4x +30
Which is
-x + 25 or 25-x.
Hope this helps!
Since p is the midpoint then xp and pay must equal each other
So, 11-6b=6-b
Solve for b
11-6b=6-b
-6 -6
5-6b=-b
+6b +6b
5=5b
b=1
xp=11-6(1)
xp=5
