Two in-line skaters, Nell and Kristin, start from the same point and skate in the same direction. Nell skates at 16 miles per ho

Paha777 [63]

First, we count how far reached the Nell:
3,5 * 16 = 56 miles

Secondly, we count how far reached the Kristin:
3,5 * 18 = 63 miles

Now we expect the difference in the distance between them:
63 - 56 = 7 miles

The results that Kristin about seven miles driven more than Nell.

URGENT ! HELP ! Question is in photo below.

kifflom [539]

$\frac{3(x+5)}{2} \cdot 2=21\cdot 2$

Above step we use "Multiplication property of equality"

$3(x+5)=42$

In the above step we "Simplify on both sides of equation"

$3x+15 = 42$

In the above step we use "Distribution property"

$3x+15-15=42-15$

The above step is the result of using "Subtraction property of equality"

$3x=27$

Above step is result of "Combining the like terms"

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{27}{3}$

Above step is the result of using "Division property of equality"

$x=9$

Above step is result of "Simplifying fractions on either side of equation"
