1/7 (x - 3) = 5/7
1/7x - 3/7 = 5/7
1/7x - 3/7 + 3/7 = 5/7 + 3/7
1/7x = 8/7
1/7x(7) = 8/7(7)
X = 56/7
X = 8

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be the miles in the circular park path,
the time Louisa takes to finish and
the time Calvin takes to finish both in hours.
Then
, the longitude is equal to the velocity times the time used to finish. So


And the difference between Louisa's time and Calvin' time is 30 minutes, half an hour. So:

Three equations, three unknowns, the system can be solved.
Equalizing the equation with x :

In this last equation replace
with the other equation and solve:
With Louisa's time find x:
The answer is one . 3 times 2 is 6. And you know 6+1 =7
