Answer:
The number of meters Robert will beat Sam is 12 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60-meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters. Suppose Robert and Sam continue to race to the finish line without changing their rates of speed.
Find:
the number of meters by which Robert will beat Sam
Step 1 of 1
When Paul finishes, Robert has run 60-10=50 meters and Sam has run 60-20=40 meters.
Therefore, when Robert and Sam run for the same amount of time, Sam covers
of the distance that Robert covers. So, while Robert runs the final 10 meters of the race, Sam runs
meters.
This means Robert's lead over Sam increases by 2 more meters, and he beats Sam by 10+2=12 meters.
5x-3x=-6
2x=-6
x=-3
x equals -3 is the answer.
Answer: D. Using the commutative property
explanation: you use the distributive property to get 10x-40. to combine like terms you add 40 to -40 and 20. and you decide 10 by both sides to get x by itself and the answer on the other side which equals 6.
