this is what i got hope it helps
The first step of solving this problem is to find your x, which is the unknown number. The unknown number is the age of Max. Once you find the x you can write out your equation.
The equation for this problem is:
2x+8=26
the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x and your equation will look like ths:
2x=18
after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2, your result is:
x=9
Max is 9 years old.
The slope of the line on the graph represents Pete's speed. That slope is 8 miles/hour.
Paul walks 2 miles in 0.4 hours, so walks at (2/0.4) miles/hour = 5 miles/hour.
a) Pete is moving at a greater rate.
b) At 8 miles per hour, it takes Pete (2 mi)/(8 mi/h) = 1/4 h = 15 minutes to get to school. If Pete leaves 5 minutes later than Paul, he will reach school 20 minutes after Paul starts, while Paul is still 4 minutes away from the school.
Yes, Pete will catch Paul before they get to school.
