Roberto overtakes Juanita at the rate of (7.7 mi)/(11 h) = 0.7 mi/h. This is the difference in their speeds. The sum of their speeds is (7.7 mi)/1 h) = 7.7 mi/h.

Roberto walks at the rate (7.7 + 0.7)/2 = 4.2 mi/h.
Juanita walks at the rate 4.2 - 0.7 = 3.5 mi/h.


_____
In a "sum and diference" problem, one solution is half the total of the sum and difference. If we let R and J be the respective speeds of Roberto and Juanita, we have
  R + J = total speed
  R - J = difference speed
Adding these two equations, we have
  2R = (total speed + difference speed)
  R = (total speed + difference speed)2 . . . . . as computed above

3n-5=-48-40n. Please help . I need the steps to solve and the answer
liraira [26]

3n-5=-48-40n

Move -40n to the other side. Sign changes from -40n to +40n.

3n+40n-5=-48= -48-40n+40n

3n+40n-5=-48

Move -5 to the other side.

3n+40n-5+5=-48+5

3n+40n=-43

43n=-43

Divide by 43 for both sides

43n/43=-43/43

n=-1

Answer: n=-1

Vanyuwa [196]

16 people would be at the dinner because Jim and Sarah invited 7 friends and each friend brought 1 guest, so you do 7*2=14 and the 14 + Jim and Sarah=16 people.
