Question

Two groups are hiking at about the same speed . Mario’s group hikes for 2.5 hours Seemas group hikes for 4.7 hours and covers 8.8 more miles . How fast are the kickers going ? Solve the equation below to find out . 4.7x=2.5x+8.8

Answer 1

Answer: 18.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ww are given the equation 4.7x=2.5x+8.8 to solve the question. This will be:

4.7x = 2.5x + 8.8

Collect like terms.

4.7x - 2.5x = 8.8

2.2x.= 8.8

x = 8.8/2.2

x = 4

To know how fast the kickers are going will be

4.7x = 4.7 × 4 = 18.8 miles
