Given:
Nancy is running 3 meters per second.
Juan starts the same race 3 meters ahead of Nancy but he is going at 2 meters per second.
To find:
The equations for Nancy and Juan.
Solution:
Let x be the number of seconds.
Nancy is running 3 meters per second. So, the total distance covered by Nancy in the race is

Juan starts the same race 3 meters ahead of Nancy but he is going at 2 meters per second. So, the total distance covered by Juan in the race is

Therefore, the equations of Nancy and Juan are
and
respectively.
2x-y=6;5x+10y=-10. -y=-2x+6. -y/-1=-2x+6/-1. y=2x-6. 5x+10y=-10. 5x+10(2x-6)=-10. 25x-60=-10. 25x=50. 25x/25=50/25. y=2x-6. y=(2)(2)-6. y=-2. Therefore, x=2 and y=-2
That'd be : 28.8 . I hope this helps. This is it step by step.
60/x=100/48
<span>(60/x)*x=(100/48)*x </span>
<span>60=2.08333333333*x
</span>(2.08333333333) to get x
<span>60/2.08333333333=x </span>
<span>28.8=x </span>
<span>x=28.8</span>
Answer:
They are all multiplied by 6
