To find of out the difference between the speed of the two drivers in miles per hour (not in miles per minute), first, calculate the unit rate or speed of driver 1 using the graph, and driver 2 using the table given.

Unit rate/speed = distance travelled/time = y/x.

Speed of Driver 1/unit rate:

The graph shows 1.5 miles (y) is travelled in 2 minutes (x).

Convert the 2 minutes to hour, you will have:

$\frac{2}{60} = \frac{1}{30} hr$

Speed in mph = $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{1.5}{\frac{1}{30}} = 1.5*\frac{30}{1} = 45$

Speed of Driver 1 in mph = 45 mph

Speed of Driver 2/unit rate:

The table shows 2.5 miles (y) is travelled in 3 minutes (x).

Convert the 3 minutes to hour, you will have:

$\frac{3}{60} = \frac{1}{20} hr$

Speed in mph = $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{2.5}{\frac{1}{20}} = 2.5*\frac{20}{1} = 50$

Speed of Driver 2 in mph = 50 mph

Difference between the speed of the two drivers = 50 - 45 = 5 mph

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x²+3x-6

=3(x²+x-2)

=3(x²+2x-x-2)

=3[x(x+2)-1(x+2)]

=3(x+2)(x-1)
