Answer:
x1 = 275 miles (shorter)
x2 = 318 miles (longer)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x1 = be the shorter route
v1 = speed of the car in the shorter route
t1 = time it took to cover shorter route
x2 = the longer route
v2 = speed of the car in the longer route
t2 = time it took to cover longer route
x1 + 43 = x2 (1)
v2 = v1 -2 (2)
v2 = x2/t2 = x2/6
v1 = x1/t1 = x1/5
This means that
v2 = v1 -2 =>
x2/6 = x1/5 -2
The system of equations results
a. x1 -x2 = -43
b. x1/5 - x2/6 = 2
Solving this system of equations, we find that
x1 = 275 miles
x2 = 318 miles
The store which offers the greater discount is store B.
<h3>Discount</h3>
Store A:
First week = 10%
= 10/100
= 0.1
Second week = 20%
= 20/100
= 0.2
Total discount = (0.1 + 0.2) / 2
= 0.15
Store B:
25%
= 25/100
= 0.25
Therefore, the store which offers the greater discount is store B.

Step-by-step explanation:
There’s tutors for math i just asked a tutor for help lol
Answer:
Morning's average rate = 50 mph, and Afternoon's average rate = 25 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose he drove 150 miles for X hours, then his average rate in the morning was (150/X) mph.
Given that he spent 5 hours in driving.
And he drove 50 miles for (5-X) hours, then his average rate in the afternoon was 50/(5-X) mph.
Given that his average rate in the morning was twice his average rate in the afternoon.
(150/x) = 2 * 50/(5-x)
150/x = 100/(5-x)
Cross multiplying terms, we get:-
150*(5-x) = 100*x
750 - 150x = 100x
750 = 100x + 150x
750 = 250x
x = 750/250 = 3.
It means he spent 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
So morning's average rate = 150/3 = 50 mph.
and afternoon's average rate = 50/(5-3) = 25 mph.
