Answer: 12.
To solve this problem, let's first solve for x. Thi is easiest done by figuring what QR is in terms of x using two equations, both from different lines.
In the first line:
QR = 15 - 4x.
In the third line:
QR = 13x - 1 - x = 12x - 1.
Now, we have to set these equations equal to each other.
15 - 4x = 12x - 1
15 = 16x - 1
16x = 16
x = 1
Next, we take line three, 13x - 1, and substitute x as 1. The answer is 12.
4 Oranges, 310 divided by 5= 64, 64 times 4=248.
Isn’t still 50%? I think I’m wrong someone tell me if I’m wrong
If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour
