Answer: Marcus's walking speed is 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Marcus's walking speed.

His speed on the bicycle is 6 mi/h faster than his walking speed. This means that his speed on the bicycle would be

x + 6

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by Marcus in walking 1 mile to the library is

1/x

Time spent by Marcus in bicycling 2.5 miles to the sporting good store is

2.5/(x + 6)

Since the time that he spends in walking to the library is about the same time that he spends in bicycling to the sporting good store, then

1/x = 2.5/(x + 6)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

1 × (x + 6) = 2.5 × x

x + 6 = 2.5x

2.5x - x = 6

1.5x = 6

x = 6/1.5 = 4

To find the mean add up all the numbers given then divide your answer by how many numbers there are.
for ex: 1,2,3,4,5
1+2+3+4+5= 15
15 divided by 5 = 3
so the mean is 3

Answer:

  \textbf{J. }\dfrac{1}{x^2-x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the denominator and cancel the common factor.

  \dfrac{x+1}{x^3-x}=\dfrac{x+1}{x(x^2-1)}=\dfrac{x+1}{x(x-1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{1}{x(x-1)}\\\\=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{x^2-x}}
