Unfortunately, you haven't shared the equations from which you're supposed to choose your answer.
But we can write our own.
When will the distance traveled by the 1st car = the distance traveled by the 2nd car?
55 miles + (55 mph)x = (60 mph)x
solve this for x: 55 miles = (60-55)x mph = 5 mph
x=11 hours
The two cars are the same distance from the starting point after 11 hours.
Answer:
w=6, x=7, t=7, n=90, w=15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 5w = 30
30/5 = 6
w=6
b) 3x-5=16
Add 5 to each side.
3x+5=16+5
3x=21
21/3=7
x=7
c) 10-t=17
10-t=17
17-10-7
-t=-7
Negative and a negative is a positive.
t=7
d) n/5 = 18
n=18 * 5
n=90
e.) 4w-12=2w+3
4w=2w+3+12
4w=2w+15
4w−2w=15
2w=15
w= 15/2
If it is fractions then the answer is -7/15. Think of as 8/15 - 1/15 except the answer is a negative number
