Answer:
Mr. Reed DATA:
rate = 40 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 40x miles
-----
Mrs. Reed DATA:
rate = 60 mph ; time = x - 3.5 hrs ; distance = 60x - 210 miles
Equation:
40x = 60x -210
-20x = -210
x = 10.5 hrs
x-3.5 = 7 hrs (Mr. Reed's time)

B. -3 combine like terms first then solve the equation normally
Answer:
A. -5 - 3(6) > 10
13 > 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets say that J is for Jennys messages, B is for Boris’ and E is for Erics (or Ericas?).
79 = J + B + E
J = E - 6
B = 3E
Since both Jenny’s and Boris’ number of text messages has some kind of relation to Eric’s number of messages, we can say that:
79 = E - 6 (Jenny) + 3E (Boris) + E (Eric), so:
79 = E - 6 + 3E + E /combine like terms
79 = 5E - 6 /add 6 to both sides
79 + 6 = 5E /switch sides + combine like terms
5E = 85 /divide both sides by 5
E = 85/5
E = 17
So, Eric sent 17 messages. Lets get back to those equations we made for Jenny and Boris:
J = E - 6 = 17 - 6 = 11
B = 3E = 3 * 17 = 51
And we can check if it adds up: 51 + 11 + 17 = 79, which is what we were supposed to get.
