Answer:

32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the total distance be x miles

Marks speed= 16miles per hour

Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour

Trisha has covered 8 miles and has  (x-8) miles to finish line

We know that

Speed= distance/time

time= distance/speed

Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is

time= x/16---------------1

The time taken for Trisha to finish is

time= (x-8)/12-----------2

equate 1 and 2 above

x/16= (x-8)/12

cross multiply

16(x-8)= 12*x

16x-128= 12x

collect like terms

16x-12x= 128

4x=128

x= 128/4

x= 32 miles

Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way

Solve for x.
egoroff_w [7]

∑ Hey, KLPJDP615 ⊃

Answer:

x = 6 or x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given:</em></u>

<em>Solve for x.</em>

<em>1 + |2+x|= 9</em>

<em>O x = 4 or x = -8</em>

<em>O x = 7 or X = -11</em>

<em>O x = 5 or x = -9</em>

<em>x = 6 or X = -10 </em>

<u><em>Solve:</em></u>

<em>1 + |2+x|= 9</em>

<em>Subtract 1 from both sides:</em>

<em>1 + |2 +x| -1 = 9-1 </em>

<em>Simplify</em>

<em>|2 + x | = 8</em>

<em>Applying absolute value rule:  If |u| = a, a > 0 then u = a or u = -a</em>

<em>2 + x = -8</em>

<em>2 + x = 8</em>

<u><em>Solving:</em></u>

<em>2 + x = -8</em>

<em>2 - 2 + x = -8 - 2</em>

<em>x = -10</em>

<u><em>Solving:</em></u>

<em>2 + x = 8</em>

<em>2 - 2 + x = 8 - 2</em>

<em>x = 6</em>

<em />

<em>Hence, x = 6 or x = -10</em>

<em />

<u><em>xcookiex12</em></u>

Triangles WSR and TVR are similar. Find x.
Vlad [161]

They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other

(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12

Cross multiply

(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)

12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)

Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis

12(x + 8) = 12x + 96

8(x + 14) = 8x + 112

12x + 96 = 8x + 112

Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides

12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)

12x - 8x = 112 - 96

4x = 16

Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 16/4

x = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 is your answer for x
