Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC

16 = x+1 + x+7

Combine like terms

16 =2x+8

Subtract 8 from each side

16-8 = 2x+8-8

8 = 2x

Divide by 2

8/2 = 2x/2

4 =x

We want to find AB

AB = x+1 = 4+1 = 5

The measuring is equal to 5 do to the whole length being 16 when adding the two equations together and equaling it to 16 you can solve the equation to equal 5.

Elena and Jada are 25 miles apart when they start moving toward each other. Elena runs at a constant speed of 6 mph and Jada wal

Setler [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

The Time taken by Elena and Jade to meet up is 2.5 hours

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given,

Elena moves with a speed of 6mph while Jada walks at a speed of 4 mph

Also, Distance can be calculated by the formula

$Distance = Speed * Time$

To find out the Total speed, i.e., speed of both Elena and Jada as both of them are walking in opposite direction we should add the speed of both the persons, if in same direction we should subtract the values

Here it will be: $6 + 4$ = 10mph
