After eating lunch together, jay and paul start walking in opposite directions. jay walks 0.75 miles every 15 minutes and paul power walks 2.5 miles every 30 minutes. in miles, how far apart are they after 1.5 hours?

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay walks 0.75 miles in 15 minutes, or 1/4 hour, so his speed is:

0.75 mi / 0.25 hr = 3 mi/hr

Paul walks 2.5 miles in 30 minutes, or 1/2 hour, so his speed is:

2.5 mi / 0.50 hr = 5 mi/hr

After 1.5 hours, Jay has walked a distance of:

3 mi/hr × 1.5 hr = 4.5 mi

And Paul has walked a distance of:

5 mi/hr × 1.5 hr = 7.5 mi

So the total distance between them is:

4.5 mi + 7.5 mi = 12 mi

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
