Answer:

12 noon

Step-by-step explanation:

Clock 1 loses 3 minutes every 2 hours. Now, 2 hours = 120 minutes.

This means, it has speed of 120 - 3 = 117 minutes for every 2 hours.

Thus, in 1 hours, it's speed = 117/2 = 58.5 min/hr

Clock 2 gains 3 minutes every 4 hours

Which means in an hour, it gains ; 4/3 minutes

Thus, it's speed an hour is; 60 + 4/3 = 61.333 min/hr

Now, When he returns home in less than two weeks, the clocks show the same time.

let's say the number of hours he was away is x. For the 2 clocks to show the same time, it means they have to show it by 12 noon at another day since it was at noon that he set the correct times before leaving.

Thus, they will both be showing 12 noon.

I did part / whole = % / 100

So x / 76 = 15 / 100

76 x 15 = 1140

1140 ÷ 100 = 11.4

Solve the equation.<br><br> −10x + 1 + 7x = 37
matrenka [14]
You combine like terms which are -10x and 7x and 1 and 37. Then it becomes -3x=36. x would equal to 36/-3, which is -12.
