Let the slower runners speed be X kilometers per hour.
Then the faster runners speed would be X+2 kilometers per hour.
The formula for distance is Speed times time.
The distance is given as 30 kilometers and time is given as 3 hours.
Since there are two runners you need to add the both of them together.
The equation becomes 30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Now solve for x:
30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Simplify:
30 = 3x + 3x +6
30 = 6x + 6
Subtract 6 from each side:
24 = 6x
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 24/6
x = 4
The slower runner ran at 4 kilometers per hour.
The faster runner ran at 4+2 = 6 kilometers per hour.
Answer:
10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
define variables:
y= height of the boards
x= distance to corner
we are trying to figure out what x is since we know the height of the board
4= 0.4x
divide both sides by 0.4
10=x
Answer:
$43,500
Step-by-step explanation:
10 percent increase of $29,000
10% = 0.10
29,000*0.10 = 2,900
So 2,900 a year
so 2,900*5 = 14,500
Then add
29,000+14,500 = 43,500
For 1
Twice a number means
A number used two times
Is that number was x
What do we do to x
