Person a can walk 5 miles in an hour.
Person b can walk 3 miles in an hour.
They are 12 miles apart, and after an hour they have covered 8 miles.
8:1 = 12:x
8x = 12
x = 1.5
After an hour and a half, they will meet.
Check:
5 miles : 1 hour = 7.5 miles : 1.5 hours
3 miles : 1 hour = 4.5 miles : 1.5 hours
Together, they should have covered 12 miles.
7.5 + 4.5 = 12
It takes 1.5 hours to meet eachother.

Answer:
348
Step-by-step explanation:
A=2(wl+hl+hw)
2(6·9+8·9+8·6)=348
Answer:
x = abc/ (a+b)
Step-by-step explanation:
x/a + x/b = c
Multiply by ab to get rid of the fractions
ab(x/a + x/b) = abc
bx + ax = abc
Factor out an x
x( b+a) = abc
Divide each side by (a+b)
x ( a+b)/ (a+b) = abc/ (a+b)
x = abc/ (a+b)
As it is, in accordance with the priorities of the operators (or the PEMDAS rule) the equation without parentheses mean
<span>(2/3)x+1=(1/6)x-7
I do not suppose you mean the above, since the solution is relatively trivial.
I suppose you actually mean
</span><span>2/(3x+1)=1/(6x-7)
in which case you would cross-multiply:
2(6x-7)=(3x-1)
and expand/distribute
12x-14=3x-1
isolate x and solve
12x-3x=-1+14
9x=13
x=13/9
If you mean the first form of equation without parentheses, my apologies.</span>
