Add all sides.
5x+2+3x+8+4x-1
Combine like terms
12x+9
Subtract nine to get it on the other side of the equal sign
12x= -9
Divide by twelve
x=-9/12
Simplify
x=-3/4
Plug in x.
A triangle always adds up to 180 degrees:
Therefore, 48 + 6x + 9x-3 = 180
Solve for x:
180 - 45 = 15x
135 = 15x
x = 9 degrees
Let:
Vj = Speed of jane
Vm = Speed of mike
d = distance
t = time
Jane travels 7 mph less than 2 times as fast as Mike, therefore:
Vj = 2Vm - 7
Remeber:
distance = speed*time
Distance traveled by mike:
d=Vm*t = Vm*6
Distance traveled by jane:
d + 198 = Vj*6
where:
Vj = 2Vm - 7
d + 198 = (2Vm-7)*6
Now, let:
d=Vm*6 (1)
d + 198 = (2Vm-7)*6 (2)
Replace (1) into (2)
6Vm + 198 = 12Vm - 42
Subtract 6Vm from both sides:
6Vm + 198 - 6Vm = 12Vm - 42 - 6Vm
198 = 6Vm - 42
Add 42 to both sides:
198 + 42 = 6Vm - 42 + 42
240 = 6Vm
Divide both sides by 6:
240/6 = 6Vm/6
40 = Vm
Vm = 40mph
Replace Vm into this equation Vj = 2Vm - 7 :
Vj = 2(40) - 7 = 80 - 7 = 73mph
