<span>erry starts rowing at 2 pm from the west end of the lake, and Tao starts rowing from the east end of the lake at 2:05 pm.
------
Terry DATA:
rate = 60 meter/min ; time = x min ; distance = r*t = 60x meters
-----
Tao DATA:
rate = 40 meter/min ; time = x-5 min ; distance = r*t = 40(x-5) meters
--------------------------
If they always row directly towards each other at what time will the two meet?
------
Equation:
dist + dist = 2000 meters
60x + 40(x-5) = 2000
20x = 1800
x = 90 minutes

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equality of bases property says powers of the same base will be equal if and only if the powers are equal. This property is used to solve exponential equations.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Equating the exponents is fully equivalent to taking the logarithm of both sides of the equation, to that base.

Answer is A, basically using the Pythagorean theorem but in a slightly different way, should still get you the same answer.
The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
