Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:
x, x + 8
They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.
In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:
8(2x +8) = 240
2x + 8 = 30
2x = 22
x = 11.
Then:
- x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

Simply substitute the point into the given equation; as there is one variable, you only need one point and so one is given. When done so, you shall get b=4
(3x-4)(5x^2-2x+6)
15x^3-6x^2+18x-20x^2+8x-24
15x^3-26x^2+26x-24
Equation:
(x+9)-7

Answer: 45
Use PEMDAS
first do what in the parentheses
(8+7)
8 + 7 = 15
Now we have
3(15)
This is multiplication
3 x 15 = 45
